Question about the upgraded puzzles

Sort:
jfri57

After the puzzles were updated one thing that changed was a coach giving hints about what to look for. As I see it this must make it easier to solve them. I also see that could be disabled. My question would you get more points solving a puzzle with this feature disabled compared to if it was enabled ? If not why ?

Why not ? How should I think about my old rating ( was 2380 when I lost the data ) compared to my new one now 2285 with hints enabled ?

I know when I do puzzle I can fluctuate 400 points in a session at any given time. It just depends on my current mental state, how tired or distracted I am, etc
