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
DUSTY feels easy in meaning, but it can take longer on the board because the final Y narrows the word into a more adjective-shaped pattern than some players expect. With only one standard vowel, the answer gives less help than its familiar meaning might suggest.
This is the kind of puzzle where the ending matters early. Once the opening D and the U are in place, testing whether the word closes as a descriptive adjective with Y is usually more useful than staying in broad dirt or debris vocabulary.
