What is going on with puzzles the last couple months? Every time I solve a puzzle I get five to seven points every time I lose a puzzle I lose 18 to 22 points that is not fair that's not how it should work today I saw four puzzles each one was Five Points and the last puzzle I did I lost 22 so what's the point of trying to bring your score up if you get one wrong all the other ones don't count why you only getting 5 to 7 points for solving a puzzle and so much for losing a puzzle?

Puzzles got easier, so it is probably the reason why losing takes out so much

There's a new puzzle Difficulty setting. Try changing to Hard or Extra Hard

Extra hard is really poor... Still 1000 points below my rating. Bring back the old puzzles system, chess.com you messed up so hard. I'm a paying member and will not be renewing my membership if this is kept as such. Puzzles are no longer challenging and my rating feels meaningless as anyone can just crank out easy puzzles and get to any rating.
