Used only basics only on this ...

I propose that we devise a standard that we can all agree as the categories for these puzzles. I found the following categories on another site and thought we could map them to Very Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard, Very Hard ... so that we are all on the same page when we are discussing difficulty of the current puzzle. The question I have is how to map them fairly?
