Should I first focus on solving LC Easy consistently?

I'm working on 75 LC problems shared on Blind. They're a mix of easy/medium/hard.
Most of the times, I can't solve them, even easy ones. I peek at the solution after some time and then try to solve.
Should I first try to solve LC easy on each topic consistently, before trying med and hard? I thought maybe learning harder ones would help me ramp up faster, but the problem is I don't have confidence that I can solve, so I give up on thinking deeply to solve them.
I have covered the basics of each topic, so now is just solving problems. I have time to learn LC, so I wonder what's the best long term strategy, not for this round of interviews, but future ones too.

Read this: https://github.com/codepath/compsci_guides/wiki. Short and sweet.
Usually the higher difficulty means multiple factors come into play, so trying to solve a problem that involves using three different algorithms together is pointless if you cannot solve one with one algorithm.
