Moonsown (Dayzle)

About Moonsown (Dayzle)

Moonsown is one of the original daily games on Dayzle, a site of puzzle games owned by TLL Studios in Valencia. Every day at your local midnight it shows a new garden drawing in the corner of the board, and everyone plays the same one.

In the morning you pick a flower from the tray and tap bare soil to sow it. When you let the night pass, exactly three nights go by. Each night, at the same moment everywhere, bare soil next to a single kind of flower turns into that kind, one square up, down, left or right. Soil that two kinds reach on the same night stays bare for good as cracked border, and stones block growth on most days. Only after the third night is your garden compared with the drawing.

The game shows faint ghost flowers while you sow, previewing how the garden will look, and marks squares that would still differ with a red dashed outline. If you are off, Back to morning keeps your seeds in place so you can move a few and try again; tries do not count. An exact garden at par earns three stars, par plus one or two earns two, more seeds one. If at most a tenth of the soil differs, a Finish button lets you close the day with one star.

The week has a shape: Monday is the easiest, with two flower kinds on a 5x5 garden, and the weekend brings four kinds on a larger grid. Your shared result shows your seed count, par and the drawing in emoji, never where you sowed. Past editions can be replayed from the archive.

How to play Moonsown (Dayzle)

1. Open Moonsown on Dayzle and look at the small drawing in the corner: it is the garden you must grow.
2. Pick a flower in the tray and tap bare soil to sow a seed; tap a seed again to pick it up.
3. Tap Let the night pass: three nights follow, and each night every flower spreads one square to bare soil next to it.
4. Where two kinds reach the same square on the same night, it stays bare as a border; stones block growth.
5. After the third night, check the red dashed squares, go back to morning to adjust, and aim to match the drawing with par seeds.

Tips

• A border sits halfway between two seeds, so place the seeds on each side of a bare strip the same number of steps from it.
• Count three steps out from every seed: a single seed can cover up to 25 squares in three nights.
• Bare soil next to only one kind means that flower arrived on the last night, so its seed is three steps back.
• Start with patches of one kind boxed in by borders; a patch wrapped round a stone may need its seed on the far side.
