Hey everyone! 1400 here, and today, I'm here with another blog post.

I've seen many members of this site ask more or less the same question: ''How can I increase my puzzle rush?''

I'm here today to help you. Using these tips I will give you right now, I went from 24 to 26 in 2 days!

Let's start with tip number 1.

1. Start fast, then slow down.

The first few tactics are easy (to me). If you are between 16-27 , you should know that I'm right.  Starting out with the first few tactics are rated are really low, but as you go higher, puzzles are harder. Once you reach a point when you can't answer a tactic within 5 seconds, go slow. Doing this, you will make less strikes. For those who are 15 or lower, you may want to take your time during the first few times. Guaranteed you will AT LEAST improve one puzzle rush point if you take your time.

2. Pay Attention

This is VERY important. If you don't concentrate, you are more likely to make mistakes. Stay in a room with little noise and make sure your environment isn't loud. When you can concentrate, you may be able to get positive results.

3. Think Positive.

Probably the most important one. It is important to have a growth mindset, not a fixed one. In other words, think positive. 

This is where a quote comes in: ''Having a bad attitude is like having a flat tire. You can't go anywhere''.-----Unknown (I don't know XD)

Think as if you can make it. 

Thanks for reading this post. I hope this will help. 

Thanks, 1400.
