Someone below, in response to my post, wrote that the order of difficulty (left-to-right easiest-to-hardest) is "Very easy, easy, considerably easy, medium, considerably hard, hard, very hard, insanely hard."

I appreciate the response and thank you.

'''I'll preface my comments here by stating that boosters should, in my view, never be part of the equation. I think that all rankings should be done under the assumption that boosters (such as lollipop hammers) will never be used.''' I am now going to make a few suggestions here.. I know, there's that expression "if it ain't broke don't fix it" but nevertheless I must tell you in all honesty I feel that that "considerably" is confusing. I would expect "considerably easy" to be easier than "easy" and "considerably hard" to be harder than "hard". I believe that I am not the only one to feel that way.With that in mind, my suggestion -- assuming what the post-er said is correct -- is to replace the word "considerably" with "somewhat". That would, I believe, make the rankings clearer to at least most people. "Considerably" has really driven me for a loop! It seems to suggest "more than" when its real meaning is closer to "arguably".

To balance the rankings, I would add "Insanely easy" to the mix. That would be descriptive of Level 1 which is all but impossible to fail.

To achive a scale of 1 to 10, I'm adding "impossible". Hopefully the King folks will have mercy on all of us devoted Candy Crushers and that will never happen! For all intents and purposes, 9 should be as hard as it gets ... insanely speaking!

To sum up, I think that the (now ten) rankings should be as follows (I've included the numerical ranking):

1 insanely easy - 2 very easy -  3 easy - 4 somewhat easy - 5 medium - 6 somewhat hard - 7 hard - 8 very hard - 9 insanely hard - 10 impossible.

If one were to use numbers, one could also use decimal points ..... so 5.5 would be between "somwhat hard" and "medium".

Thanks for reading this and, in advance, for considering my suggestions here. I welcome all views, whether concurring or opposing.
