Did they make puzzles way easier?

I've gained over 500 rating the last couple days. Whats going on? 

Ive now gained over 1000 points, up to 3500, where is the extra hard button lol

The puzzle Difficulty setting is available on the website and Android app 4.9.1. You can try Hard or Extra Hard

yes

Can confirm extra hard is quite difficult lol but u get the same amount of elo. So only more challenge with no benefit. I turned it down to hard and seems to be a better balance so far.

3100 in puzzles with 800 rating? Sandbagging or what

the puzzle are realy 800 level

chess.com is guilty of this! let them be banned!

It depends on the puzzle rating vs yours. I have been getting +10-14 on Extra Hard

You're getting lower puzzles fir to your game ratings (part of the changes in the puzzle selection algorithm).
