I Solve My Puzzle Correctly And My My Puzzle Rating Goes Down. What Gives?

Has anyone else noticed this? Yesterday I did the three free puzzles you get on a free account. I got all three correct. After the first and third correct solve, my rating went up. After the second correct solve, despite saying "+11", it dropped three points. I solved the puzzle within 20 seconds.

I went into your puzzle stats and this is what I saw for the18th. The little puzzle in your image was the first puzzle you played - you won and got credited 11 points. The last puzzle prior on the 14th you had 2086 + 11point win= 2097 math is correct.

The larger puzzle was the 2nd you played -you won and got credited with 6 Points. which brings you to 2103. Again math is correct

The last puzzle of the uday ID#1021376 shows both that you lost, and you lost 11 points, not 3. 2103 - 11 = 2092. So everything checks out in your stats, but you still have discrepancies, the perhaps, primary thing that you say you solved all 3. Could it be that perhaps on your final move, you missclicked and thought that you completed it?

All three dots show as green, which signifies I solved them all; one of them would be red if I got it wrong.

There is a bug on the website where the first puzzle of a session isn't actually counted. It will show on the graph but doesn't actually change your rating or show in your puzzle archives.

I don't believe it counts towards the daily limit, but I'm not sure.

This has been fixed now
