Hi Muyi, thanks for sharing your Daily Tidy setup! So, I think I see a bug here (pun intended?)... the guide sticker for that Yellow Fly is missing... I suspect it's hidden by the Donut (which takes up a lot of space).

Firstly, can you please provide me with your variation code, so that we can investigate and resolve the bug? You can find the variation code in the bottom left corner of the Daily Tidy menu, in the format of XX-XXXXXX

Secondly, try the following:
Red Fly goes on the 21st (same day as the spider)
Spider goes on the 10th (same day as the Red Fly)
Yellow Fly goes on the 11th (same day as the first Donut)- this is a guess though, based on the fact that I think I can see the edge of the guide sticker for the Yellow Fly at the bottom left of the second Donut

It's a little bit hard to see - since you've already partly solved it.
It would be even better if you posted your STARTING puzzle.

But I can see one thing at least:
You have got one today where you need to put 2 different stickers on the same date.
That happens sometimes, and is allowed :-)
Your spider on 21 and red fly on 10.

You've found the 11-day repeating pattern (good !).
And so the last spider goes on 10. Yes, on top of/beside the fly already there.
And the last red fly goes on the 21., on top of/beside the spider already on there,.

OK - so we posted on top of each other here ;-)

I also was puzzled at the yellow fly, and was about to guess it was either hidden underneath something - or, indeed, a bug (!)

Devs will help you with that, then...

Hi Muyi, thanks for providing us with the variation code for your puzzle (in another thread), we've had a chance to take a look at your setup and as suspected, that pesky Yellow Fly is hidden behind the Donut. Thanks so much for notifying us of this bug!

Here's a screenshot of the solution for your variation: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3341354594

Ahh, poor Muyi - that was a terrible puzzle to get, with an 'invisible fly'.
No wonder they got stuck !
Sympathies - and best wishes :-)

funnily enough i know about the method to count days, but i found it just as simple to match patterns. Basically if a red flower is above a fly on one part of the calendar in the default state, then there is a red flower above every fly on every part of the calendar. This is always true as long as the pattern falls on a day and not a blank square.

At the very least it makes it feel more puzzle-like while trying to figure out which order to place the stickers to repeat the patterns everywhere, rather then just count.

I think perhaps you intended to put this comment on the more general 'calendar' thread yesterday, rather than here in the thread on Muyi's specific problem (?)
But anyway: Yes, 'pattern matching' (great expression!) is a way to solve this that I often use myself too, and is a very satisfying way to do it.
Just, imo, more difficult to explain clearly and unambiguously in a Guide. So the Guides that have been made so far, focus on the 'counting method'.
(Although, I do mention the alternative approach with 'relative sequencing' in both my step-by-step Calendar guide and in the big all daily tidy types guide. I have thought about making a Calendar guide showing this alternative method, too, so maybe....)
