What are the better words to describe difficulty levels? [closed]

I'm using five words to describe the difficulty levels of some training material:

'Easy', 'Normal', 'Hard', 'Challenging', 'Level 5'

'Level 5' is the most difficult level. I haven't found a proper word for that. Anyway, I first want to know some better words to name the five levels. The words are not necessarily related to any professional field because it contains training material from different professional fields.

If no better words are available, please help me with a word 'Level 5'.


One adjective used fairly often in the context of graded puzzles is Fiendish.

We seem to be getting into lists or extended discussions...


I would recommend you the following:

  1. Beginner
  2. Easy
  3. Normal
  4. Hard
  5. Very hard

The difficulty level after
'Easy', 'Normal', 'Hard', 'Challenging'
could be

Level 5: Command level
when the player will gain complete command over the game.
