A '''lesson level''' can refer to the first eight levels of [[Chip's Challenge 1]], entitled ''Lesson 1'' through ''Lesson 8'', and seven levels in [[Chip's Challenge 2]], entitled ''Lesson 1'' through ''Lesson 7'', though they are not the first seven levels. They serve as training levels for the rest of the game, and show most of the [[tile]]s. All of these levels contain a hint which explains the main concepts introduced in the level. They were all designed by [[Chuck Sommerville]]. They can also refer to the nine tutorial levels in [[CCLP1]] or other similar levels in [[custom level set]]s
A '''lesson level''' serves as a training level for the rest of the game, and shows most of the [[tile]]s the player can encounter. The term can refer to:
* The first eight levels of [[Chip's Challenge 1]], entitled ''Lesson 1'' through ''Lesson 8''
* The first nine levels of [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 1]], though not labelled in numeric order
* Seven levels in [[Chip's Challenge 2]], entitled ''Lesson 1'' through ''Lesson 7'', though not the first seven levels
It can also refer to other similar levels in custom [[level set]]s.
 
All lesson levels contain [[hint]]s which explain the main concepts introduced in the level. The CC1 and CC2 lesson levels were all designed by [[Chuck Sommerville]], whereas the CCLP1 lesson levels were primarily designed by [[Tyler Sontag]] and [[Henry Potts]], with just one being designed by [[J.B. Lewis]].

==Later levelsets==
=== Tiles not introduced in CCLP1 lesson levels ===
Unlike Chip's Challenge 1, [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2]] and [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 4]] do not have lesson levels, as they use the same devices and mechanics as the original, and are meant to be played by veteran Chipsters. However, [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 3]] has the introductory [[Entrance Examination]], where most of the basic mechanics are put into test for newcomers. [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 1]] contains nine tutorial levels, none with their title in the ''Lesson #'' format.
[[File:Teeth S.png|link=Teeth]] [[Teeth]] are introduced in [[Graduation]].<br>

Other than the official CC1 and CC2 lesson levels, the term is used to identify any level made in this style, usually introducing a concept not covered in the official lesson levels or to introduce a gimmick of a specific [[custom level set]].  For example, [[pi]]'s ''lesson 3.141592653589793238'' introduces the set's use of the digits of pi as a method of solving its levels.

A lesson level serves as a training level for the rest of the game, and shows most of the tiles the player can encounter. The term can refer to:

It can also refer to other similar levels in custom level sets.

All lesson levels contain hints which explain the main concepts introduced in the level. The CC1 and CC2 lesson levels were all designed by Chuck Sommerville, whereas the CCLP1 lesson levels were primarily designed by Tyler Sontag and Henry Potts, with just one being designed by J.B. Lewis.
