GLAZIER — a stained-glass logic puzzle for Android

Restore the light. Pure deduction, no guessing.

What is GLAZIER?

GLAZIER is a quiet color logic puzzle about restoring the stained-glass windows of an old cathedral, one window at a time. A small medallion sits at the head of every row and every column, showing exactly the colors that line must contain — no more, no fewer. Fit each pane so every line matches its medallion.

One more rule, taught as you play: touching panes never share a color. Between the medallions and the adjacency rule, every window has exactly one solution and it is always reachable by deduction — you never guess, and you're never punished for exploring.

How to play

  1. A few panes were leaded in place by the old master and stay fixed. The rest are yours.
  2. Read the medallions at the head of each row and column — they name exactly the colors that line must hold.
  3. Pick a glass and set it into an empty pane.
  4. Touching panes may never share a color. When two do, the seam between them glows softly until you fix it — no red, no penalty.
  5. Every window has exactly one solution, reachable by deduction alone.
  6. At a dead end, a free rescue points to the earliest pane holding the window back, and hints explain the deduction that decides a pane.

FAQ

What kind of puzzle is GLAZIER?
It's a constraint-based color logic puzzle. Each row and column has a medallion naming the exact multiset of colors it must contain, and no two orthogonally touching panes may share a color. If you enjoy Sudoku, Nonograms or Picross, the deduction will feel familiar — but it's played in color rather than numbers.
Does GLAZIER ever require guessing?
No. Every window is built with exactly one solution reachable by logic alone, and a free rescue will point you at the earliest wrong pane if you reach a dead end.
Is there a timer?
No timer during play, no fail state and no lives. Your solve time appears on the victory screen as a fact, not a score to beat.
Can it be played without relying on color?
Yes. Color is never the only signal — every glass has its own texture and an etched shape matched to its medallion dots, so windows can be solved by pattern alone.
Is GLAZIER out yet?
Not yet. GLAZIER is coming soon to Android, with iOS to follow. Its sibling puzzles — DELTA, LOCKSTEP, FLIPSIDE, ANOMALY, TRIAD and TOTEM — are available now on Google Play.
