Can someone explain me, why are never as much points given for solved puzzles (even if solving them quick ), than loosing doing a mistake ? Mostly for solved puzzles I get 7 to 10 points....failing a puzzle , even if partially solved (I know such an partially rating system from an android app) you always loose 12 to in extreme cases 25 points. I think this rating system is not balanced and it seems, they want encourage you to buy an account to have more tries than the daily 3 free ones.

The points you can earn go down if you take longer than the target time based on your rating or the average time They used to take away points if you took too long. Now you earn a minimum of 5 points for a correct answer even if you take an hour.
The point is that you should not guess. Don't answer until you are sure. Speed helps you earn points but accuracy is more important.
I don't see any where you lost 25 points in your last 25 puzzles
Why don't you just take as much time as you need to solve it completely? I'm not kidding. Take 5 minutes. Or 10, if you need it.
That's how you will improve.
Some puzzles upset me!
The puzzles are fair they just incentivize you to calculate more to make sure you don’t drop points, at least that’s how I see it

Thx for the answer.Indeed, think it's the background picture on my android, I read 25 instead of the smaller values and didn't enter stats again .I didn't notice that it's now always at least 5 points for solution, the time pressure before made me mad, I am a bit older and won't anymore be a good blitz player haha. Have a nice weekend, sorry for late response.
