Calling potential Pippers!
Today's Easy Puzzle is an simple one to explain via MN media, do I'm going to try

( @Yiayoula I know you often day you can't make head or tail of it)

The pink zone requires three of the same numbers within that zone, as there is an = (equal) designated for that zone.
There is only one number which has three tiles so they HAVE to be placed within the pink zone.

The orange zone requires tiles (or Pips) which add up to 10... again, it's pretty obvious which two they are.

Hopefully this Puzzle can be a good starting point for more Pippers on board!

@Yiayoula I'm afraid none of what I wrote yesterday will make any sense today, as the puzzles change.
But I've just done today's and hopefully you'll be able to apply the same principles.

The Easy Puzzle today requires you to enter four tiles (Pips) of the same value within the pink zone, because the pink zone is denoted with an equal = sign.
There is only ONE value which has four tiles so they HAVE to go within the pink zone.
Hopefully that makes some sort of sense, and you'll be able to fill in the other spaces with the remaining tiles! 🤞
