Chess.com puzzle ratings have absolutely nothing to do with real ratings.
At the very least, if you want something that can tell how strong you are in real chess, then Puzzle rush it is.
Why is my Puzzles rating so much higher?

What does my score of 57 tell you if Puzzle Rush is "it" as you say? Average time is 1:47 because I took a long time near the end when the puzzles were near 3000 and over.
My previous high was 56, which I managed a month ago, 03 June. It took me about 31 days to eclipse that score.

It's hard to argue that the puzzle ratings aren't totally ridiculous. This is the 'Leaderboard' and the top guy has a rating of 65,540! 😂

Chess.com should display puzzle level using something like Roman numerals to indicate that its a different thing, not the rating we got used to
Good point. It might as well be winning coconuts or something, when strong puzzle solvers are sitting in the 3000 range yet one bloke can accumulate 65,540. Give him that score in coconuts! 😂

I agree.
But that's a problem because abilities in areas of a game such as solving puzzles should have something to do with real ratings. When you play a real game you are trying to do a puzzle, just in real time.
Player can do 100 puzzles and get a lot of points. During the same time same player will play significantly less rated games - so he will get less points. Assumption: he solved all puzzles and won all games.
