If you've been playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons for a few weeks now, you've probably noticed that a special NPC visits your island each day. The April update even added two more visitors to the mix: Leif, who sells shrubs and flower seeds, and Jolly Redd, who sells art. However, you might not be seeing Redd--or some of the other desirable NPCs--very often. According to datamining, that's due to how the visitor schedule works.
Twitter user @_Ninji, who has shared accurate, datamined information about much of New Horizons, explained how special visitors work in a brief thread. Provided you've met the prerequisites for each visitor--you can find all of them in our special visitors guide--there are certain NPCs that are guaranteed to visit each week while the rest will show up randomly on the remaining days.

every week, you’re guaranteed to get Saharah, Kicks and Leif on weekdays (if you meet their criteria, e.g. having Able Sisters built)

According to Ninji, Saharah, Kicks, and Leif are each guaranteed to come each week on a random weekday, while Gulliver, Label, C.J., Flick, and Redd will randomly fill in the remaining two weekdays.

That means you can only get two visitors out of that group of five each week. Weekends are taken up by K.K. Slider on Saturdays and Daisy Mae on Sundays, if you've unlocked them.
