Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.

Optimization · Pure Optimization
Renovation sim about cleaning and flipping houses.
Loom
Optimization · Pure Optimization
A musical adventure where learning and reversing melodic spells forms a closed combinatorial puzzle system.
House Flipper leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Loom leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).

Axis by axis
Execution2 vs 2
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

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.
