Why did I randomly lose 1000+ elo points on Puzzles?

Just bamboozled and wondering if someone can explain. Was thinking maybe it's due to recent inactivity but the 'Highest Rating' stat is also affected

The algorithm was adjusted and the site uses Glicko not Elo

Yes, everybody's puzzle rating went down. Mine went from 2680 to 2123. It's more realistic now.

Damn, 3400 to 2400 feels like a massive leap if that's the case

People were leeching the "easy" rating to get super-high scores.

I moved from "easy" to "medium" puzzle level difficulty about a month ago. My scores took a small 100-point hit then, but I've been fighting my way back up.

This 300 point drop correction is nothing.

my elo before was 2650

As far as I'm aware the easy/medium/etc. settings thing is quite recent (I only noticed it being a thing in the last year or so, at least); along with the "coach hints"...?

Either way, it only took me ~2 years to hit 2400 but then another ~5 years to hit 3500 -- at the very least that "correction" curve seems a bit steep (I spent 99% of my time on this site on just the puzzles)

Mine went from 3105 to 2000. I still woke up this morning, the sun was shining and life continues.

It's because of the new puzzle update

Fair enough - thanks for your responses everyone!

I fell 1k. I usually make a mistake in a puzzle (which is my fault) but everyone messes up, I think if you stop gaining points after a while that's where you at, the massive hick from the recent mounth was probably millions get a free membership (like me) for a month and doing hundreds of puzzles. I would consider myself in the 2400-2600 range but becuase of the drop it will take me one year (I am on the basic level now) to get there prob, especially if I get a puzzle or two wrong every 10-12

Here's what you get for each difficulty (from my exp today):

Standard: Correct = +2-3 pts Incorrect = -12 pts

Hard: Correct = +3-5 pts Incorrect = -10-8 pts

Extra Hard: Correct = + 7-9 pts Incorrect = -7-9 pts
