levels

/ˈlɛvəlz/

When used as a noun, "levels" usually refers to measurable amounts (like noise levels) or stages of progress. In these cases, it is the plural form of "level". When used as a verb, "levels" is the third-person singular present tense (e.g., 'he levels'). It can mean making something physically flat or completely destroying a building. Be careful not to confuse the physical act of leveling ground with the metaphorical act of reaching a new level in a game or career.
