Moss Cairn
Push mossy stones, let them grow, stack three-high cairns
Mossy stones of different sizes lie around each garden. Walking pushes the top stone in front of you. A small or medium stone that rolls onto unused moss grows one size and uses up that moss. Smaller stones can only go on top of larger ones. Stack every golden base three-high (3, 2, 1) to complete the garden.

How to play
- Walk one square with the arrow keys or buttons; a stone in front of you gets its top piece pushed.
- A small or medium stone rolling onto unused moss grows one size and uses up the moss; large stones don't grow.
- Only a smaller stone can go on top of a larger one. When you push the top stone off, you stay where you are.
- A golden base stacked large–medium–small is fixed in place; finish every base to clear the garden.
- A wrong push can lead to a dead end, so undo or restart. Each garden allows up to 400 steps.
Controls
Arrow keys or direction buttons to move. You can also inspect any square for its position, stone sizes and base state without using a step.

FAQ
Does walking over moss use it up?
No. Moss is only used when a small or medium stone rolls onto it and grows.
How do I tell how big a stone is?
Inspect the square: it describes the stone sizes, stacking order and base state in words.
Do I need an account or to pay?
No. The games are free, with no ads or in-app purchases. A lyrasama.com account is only for keeping your progress in your account; you can play everything without one.
Where is my progress stored?
In this browser on this device; nothing is uploaded. Clearing browser data or private browsing loses it, so download a backup from the game's save panel first.
Do you collect data about me?
Only daily counts per game: opened, level cleared, came back on a later day, and played for 5 minutes. No identity, IP address or game content. Nothing is counted when your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control.
