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

Optimization · Pure Optimization
A supernatural mystery where understanding each curse's exact conditions across multiple protagonists is the puzzle.

Optimization · Pure Optimization
An open-ended needs-and-money system that rewards efficient scheduling.
Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); The Sims leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
The Sims leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.

Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
