Denki Blocks!vsLoom
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Denki Blocks!
Optimization · Pure Optimization
A sliding-block puzzle about deducing the right merge sequence per board.
Loom
Optimization · Pure Optimization
A musical adventure where learning and reversing melodic spells forms a closed combinatorial puzzle system.
Denki Blocks! leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Loom leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).

Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 2
Loom leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Denki Blocks!
Sliding blocks has no timing or twitch demand
Loom
Musical spell sequences require accurate note input under light pressure
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Denki Blocks!
Solo puzzle with no opponent to predict
Loom
Fantasy narrative with scripted antagonists
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Denki Blocks!
Each puzzle is fixed, nothing random to map
Loom
Deterministic world with no randomised elements
Optimization8 vs 8
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Denki Blocks!
Solving the block-merging sequence is the entire game
Loom
Learning and combining distaff spells in the correct order is a fully solvable logic system
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
