Why I chess.com lately giving me so low rated puzzles? It didn't use to be like this. It's no fun getting +5 +5 +5 +5 +5 -27... Since if I concentrate I get almost all correct I have increased to my highest ever puzzle rating but this have killed all the fun. Something is wrong here.

Yes! I'm having the same thing. Not getting any puzzles rated higher than about 1400, which has artificially pumped my puzzle rating over 2400. Kinda fun, but I'm not learning. Please fix!

There's a new Difficulty setting. You should change to Hard or Extra Hard.

The setting can only be changed in the website currently but impacts puzzle selection on the apps as well.

Doesn't that make the rating kind of meaningless if the puzzle difficulty is based off the difficulty you select? I have the same issue I went from 2300 to 3400 in a few days.
