Maybe they have tried every single possible move until they got the solution and think they've solved the puzzle. I think it should be allowed for everyone on Sundays though, I would believe a 500 rated player who says Sunday puzzles are easy.
Yea. I'm just playing around, but I do find it really funny.
I guess I just find humor in..
"Easy!"
you should look at their tactics rating not their online chess rating
Could not "Easy!" be interpreted as: "Go easy - this puzzle is way too hard!"
it's much easier to find the tactic when you're told it exists. most peoples tactical awareness lags behind their execution.

true true
A new feature that indicates how many times you got it wrong would alleviate this problem, and subsequently make people who got it wrong 15 times and posted easy look foolish.
akibathepenquin makes an astute observation: tactics problems where substantial gain is guaranteed as the premise to working the problem are FAR easier to solve than FINDING the same over the board, and even more so than GENERATING the opportunity for them to arise. 
i enjoy these puzzles because they help prepare u for actual game situations when otherwise, u dont have the luxury of time. here there is no pressure, u can sit, look, analyze before making a move. at times i have solved puzzles making one or no mistakes and said "easy" but then i remember i just spent 30 minutes trying to solve the puzzle
But its fun. And Easy!
w00t i can still say "Easy"! In fact, i should say, "Super Easy!"
I think there should be 3 forums categories for puzzles, one with 2 or less moves that gives the opportunity to all new inexperienced players a crack at the puzzle and claim not only a win but a true deep satisfaction to have resolved the Sphynx chess enigma, next, puzzles with 4 or less moves for strong to very strong players, and finally puzzles with 5 or more moves, which I can seldom solve the first time, I have only solved one puzzle in 5 moves the first time.
Food for thought for the chess.com group and all of the participants that try to solve puzzles.
Let's hear your opinion on this.
Try the tactics trainer - the rated approach covers all skill levels and, because it doesn't tell you what you should be looking for (fork, pin, discovered attack etc.), it is as close as you can get to trying to find tactics in a real game. I didn't see your name under the player list, so I guess you haven't tried it.

uhuh
daily puzzle comments are the worst
It is much easier to find a tactic in a puzzle than it is in a game. That is why.
lol
Personally, I do not do well at tactics trainer for the same reason I'm not good at blitz chess... I hate chess under pressure. I like to have 2 hours to stare at a board and go through lines in my head. I don't like watching a seconds clock count down while I try to maintain concentration on the board. My two cents.
It seems to me that the Sunday puzzles are much easier (relative term) than all the other days.....this must be intentional.... I wonder why??
It's traditionally a day for resting and taking it "easy". (Oops! I just said the E-word).
The only puzzles that are easy, are the ones that require mate in 1...
I just posted a comment on "Bothersome Queen" which I believe is somehow related to this thread, and I am taking the liberty to post it here again.
1. Can the daily puzzles be rated as beginners, advanced beginners or advanced players?
2. Can the daily puzzles be numbered accordingly and its answers posted the following day, so that the "first page finishers" can post their answers and truly claim that they indeed solved the puzzle?
3. Can an analysis board be included in the daily puzzle?
Thanks!
"Easy"...
That seems to be the standard response to daily puzzles. More often then not, people responding with that have really low ratings.. I don't understand. If it was so easy, why is your rating 1100?
Perhaps, I'm bitter because I suck at puzzles.
