The Skill Level value is an estimation using an algorithm based on the solving techniques required to solve the puzzle. The skill level will only appear when the puzzle has a unique solution. To see if the puzzle has a unique solution use the Solution Status Command.

The following is a list the different skill levels in order from easiest to most-difficult:

Very Easy  (0.0-0.9)   Can be solved quickly using elementary means.
Easy  (1.0-1.9)   Can be solved using elementary means.
