How the difficulty works
Every difficulty level combines three things a teacher thinks about: how thick the guide is, how close the dots sit, and how dark the letters are, so one tap cleanly raises or lowers the challenge. The seven levels run from a solid model to trace on top, through bold dotted, fine dotted, dashed, faded ghost and faint guide, all the way to a blank ruled line for writing from memory. Start easy and move up a single notch as a child’s control improves.
Not sure where to start? As a rule of thumb, Pre-K does well with bold dotted, Kindergarten with fine dotted, Grade 1 with dashed, and Grade 2 and up with a faint guide before writing solo. Adults relearning penmanship often start at faded ghost and drop to a blank line. The age buttons jump to a sensible level, then fine-tune with the ladder.

The method behind this: the seven levels implement the fading-support ladder. See From Tracing to Writing for when to move up or step back, Stroke Order & Start Dots for why the arrows matter, and When to Start Handwriting if you're just beginning.
