Auto difficultyAfter a few rounds of a game, Puddle asks your child "Want a harder one?" or "Want an easier one?" between rounds. Nothing changes unless they tap Yes. Off keeps every game at its level.
Game levelsEach game has 20 levels: Easy 1 to 5, Medium 6 to 10, Hard 11 to 15, Expert 16 to 20. Changing the challenge level above starts every game again from there.
