How Does the Easy Demon List (EDL) Rank Geometry Dash Demons?

Updated

The Easy Demon List (EDL) is a community project that ranks the hardest demons within Geometry Dash's Easy Demon difficulty tier. Based on the site's own description, its purpose is "to rank the hardest demons of such difficulty in Geometry Dash." The current site version is EDL v1.2.0, and its navigation includes a List, Leaderboard, Packs, and Roulette. What the site does not publish is the exact ranking methodology — so the honest answer is that EDL orders Easy Demons by difficulty, but the specific criteria behind each placement are not documented in the available page content.

What EDL covers

EDL is not a general demon ranking. It is scoped specifically to the Easy Demon difficulty level — the entry tier of Geometry Dash's demon system. That means:

  • Levels harder than Easy Demon are out of scope.
  • The list focuses on the hardest entries within that tier, not every Easy Demon ever made.
  • The ranking is presented as a difficulty ordering, so position on the list signals relative challenge.

What the site structure tells you

The page evidence shows four main sections:

Section What it implies
List The core ranked ordering of Easy Demons
Leaderboard Tracks player performance, likely tied to completions of listed levels
Packs Grouped sets of levels, a common format in demon list projects
Roulette A random-selection feature for picking levels

The presence of a Leaderboard suggests that player completion records feed into the project in some way. However, the available content does not confirm whether rankings are decided by player completions, a panel of verifiers, community consensus, or a mix. Treat any specific claim about the method as unverified unless the site states it directly.

How to read the ranking

Because the methodology isn't published, use the list as a relative difficulty guide, not an absolute measurement:

  1. Open the List section to see the current ordering.
  2. Compare positions — a level ranked above another is presented as harder within the Easy Demon tier.
  3. Check the Leaderboard if you want to see how players are recorded against listed levels.
  4. Use Packs or Roulette if you want grouped or randomized level suggestions rather than a straight ranking.

Version note

The site is at EDL v1.2.0. Version numbers in list projects often correspond to changes in placements, added levels, or revised criteria. If you're comparing EDL to an older snapshot or to another list, check the version first — a ranking from a different version may not match the current one.

What isn't confirmed

  • The exact criteria for placing one Easy Demon above another.
  • Whether community voting, verifier judgment, or completion data drives placements.
  • Any pricing or account requirements — the available page content shows no pricing signals, so nothing can be assumed about cost or login.

If you need the definitive method, the List and Leaderboard sections on the site itself are the places to check, since the ranking rules would appear there rather than in the site's short description.
