Puzzle ratings are basically same as game ratings. If you play weak players, you get less points than you stand to use.
But puzzles also have a time target. The rating refers to solving the puzzle within the time target. If you take more time, you get fewer points. I almost always take extra time on puzzles, so I need to maintain a higher than 50% success rate to hold my rating.
On the other hand, puzzles can have partial credit. There's no partial credit in games.

Puzzles no longer have a time component for rating. They also no longer give partial credit, as far as I'm aware.
They are treated like games. On Standard difficulty, the average rating of puzzles is lower than your current puzzle rating so more points are lost on failures and fewer gained on each success. Hard and Extra Hard difficulty settings have different average ratings, so their point changes are smaller on failures and larger on success, though the total amount of rating change will be similar, as you'll tend to miss more on those

When i solve a puzzle, i get less than 5 points, but when i lose only one, i lose more than 10 points !! this is unfair !!
