How to read this

Popularity
An estimate from 5 to 100. Apple shows its own score only inside Apple Search Ads, so Keywatch estimates it from autocomplete: the fewer letters it takes before Apple suggests a search, the more people type it.
Difficulty
0 to 100, from the size and ratings of the 10 apps ranking on top. Under 40 is easy, over 70 is hard.
Results
How many apps the App Store returns for the search (Apple lists up to about 250).
