Daily Tidy Help
For the colour pencils daily tidy, there are two solutions.

I got the one regarding putting the colour pencils in rainbow order based on the colour.

I can't seem to figure out the other one. Could I please get some help?

So it's very, very unlikely that the one you or the OP has, is the exact same as anyone else's.

So unless you post a screenshot of YOUR puzzle that you're having trouble with, helpful advice really has to adress the general puzzle logic for that specific puzzle type. Rather than trying to help by explaining what you did with YOUR specific Daily.

This Daily is a 'Pencil' type tidy.
It has randomized variations along 2 out of multiple possible elements: symbols, pencil length, eraser length, colour gradients, and I think also lead length/pointiness, iirc.

Solving logic is:

* Symbols - i.e. markings on the end of the pencil (like H, 2B etc would be on a 'real' pencil). Sort according to type and number of symbol
* Pencil length - longest to shortest, or v.v.
* Eraser length - ditto
* Colour gradients - either rainbow order, or through white-grey-black and on from darkest colour to lightest colour (or v.v.), or just plain darkest-to-lightest in a specific colour (like from very dark green to bright green, or similar. (or v.v.)
* iirc, this Tidy type also can vary according to the length (or pointiness/sharpness) of the pencil lead itself. Sort from longest to shortest (most pointy, to least pointy) Or vv.

Hope this helps !

Enjoy :-)

Line up the size of the erasers at the bottom I actually can't seem to get the first solution right, ha.

Thank you, but in the daily challenge the I think they are of the same size - https://steamcommunity.com/id/prettyhybrid/screenshot/2317729541100795847/

Three loop, two loop, one loop, line, one less than, two, then three
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

I got error msg from Steam - and repeatedly - when I tried to look at your screenshot, so unfortunately can't give specific advice.
Possibly/hopefully @Monstrositea managed to look at it, so the advice above from them above gives the specific solution you were looking for :-)

I was stuck for a while today too, all my pencils were the same size and with similar gradients. The first solution was obvious but the second took lots of trial and error. Don't give up, you'll get it!

Hmmm, it really shouldn't need a lot of just trial and error . Unless there's a bug somewhere all solutions are supposed to be logical (according to the puzzle type's 'internal logic', of course...)
Just as a matter of curiosity - would you care to share what kind of thing the second solution was?

I finally got it, thank you for all your help. I had to organise the pencils by Nib colour from lightest to darkest
