repetitive tacics

does anyone know if there is a way to configure the puzzles on chess.com to replicate the advice i've heard about solving the same set of basic chess tactics over and over until they are second nature?

something like the woodpecker or de le maza method

i can set the ratings very low for learning tactics but its not always the same puzzles

any advice would be greatly appreciated

thank you

You can choose to solve puzzles from one of the tactical motifs at a time in Custom.  You could spend a day on Basic Checkmates; more if you needed to, and then move on to something else.  I think that's as close as you can get.

Now that I think about it, since you're a diamond member, you might want to check out some of the tactics courses in the Mastery Level.  GM Wolff has several dozen courses each covering a specific tactical motif.  Highly recommended and when you get to the end, you can just start over again.  Have fun!
