I got to 2501...
The quick explanation of the Woodpecker Method is that you need to solve a large number of puzzles in a row; then solve the same puzzles again and again, only faster. It's not a lazy shortcut to success – hard work is required. But the reward can be re-programming your unconscious mind.
Found this on google.

Well, to get better do lots of puzzles everyday and review ones that you got wrong. If you see a missed tactic in your game, try doing tactics sort of like that more often. So if you find yourself not being able to find tactics in the endgame, use the tags on the puzzles to change it to endgame tactics.
Also congratulations on hitting 2500

Okay, I know in one of my games recently I missed a move which would've won 3 points but began with a bishop sac which I totally missed (moving too fast). Which type is that? I'm not sure...

@smarty_pant did you reset your puzzles recently? I don't see a puzzle rating on your profile

I don't do many puzzles on Chess.com since I don't have a membership, I do them on Lichess.org

You can memorize puzzles.
Congratulations!

I won't get that exact position though in games...
I just hit 2500 in puzzles (barely) and I'm wondering if there are any common types of puzzles and things that I should know to progress further. Anyone have any ideas? Also, what's a good method for doing puzzles? I've heard of the woodpecker method, but not sure what that is, can someone describe that? Thanks in advance.
