Easy gives you a more direct path, Standard keeps the balance most players want, and Hard stays more abstract so you can preserve more of the puzzle's original challenge before looking at the answer.
Why It Was Tricky
QUACK is easier once the Q appears, but before that it can feel oddly hidden because the answer depends on a very specific sound word rather than a broader everyday object or action. Its recognizability arrives all at once rather than gradually.
The UA pairing does a lot of the solving work here. If you identify Q or the -CK ending, the right move is to check for the standard QU pattern instead of exploring stranger letter routes.
