Difficulty works best when it adapts gradually. Problems should become harder because the learner is ready, not because the game suddenly ran out of easy questions. The category's past supplies the companion fact: Creative games can teach planning without announcing a lesson; building a scene, story or machine naturally requires choices about order and structure. Educational games have one unbeatable special effect: the moment a player realizes they can now do something that was difficult yesterday.
