Puzzle Evaluation

I am working on a Python Generator as part of a college project. I tried to build a humanistic solver that appraises each puzzle logically and use that to determine difficulty levels, but its still a computer program and not a real human. They are all designed to have unique solutions and are rated from 1-5 based on difficulty. 5 is expert, 1 is beginner.

I would really appreciate it if you guys could let me know if these expert puzzles are as difficult as their names imply? I know there really isnt any "expert" difficulty for 4x4 and 6x6 but within those bands are they challenging enough to merit that tag? I'm also clueless with the 12 and 16 grids since solving even the intermediate ones are challenging enough for me that i cant tell if this is top tier expert difficulty or if they slot into an easier category. thanks!
