Same here. I’ve gained 200 points in the last hour with only 1-2 incorrect puzzles, but despite a rating of 2200-2400 I’ve not had a single puzzle with a rating above 2000, and the puzzles are MUCH easier than I’ve been getting over the last 2-3 months

Okay, so it’s not just me. I did not get a single puzzle above 1800 in about 40 puzzles. They are all super easy one- or two-move puzzles. I find this highly unusual. I even got a 30-puzzle strike.

Yeah I just reached 3400, 6000th in the world, no way in hell I ever should get close to this rating lol

I realized this too, could be a marketing ploy by chess.com to make their memebrs feel better about having higher ratings so they buy memberships to do more puzzles to get more rating

Is there a way to set the ratings range in the rated puzzles to get harder puzzles?

Yeah it’s still an issue. I’ve not had any problems over 2000 since the first of May. I dont think it’s a marketing gimmick as myself and several other posters seem to be diamond status so there’s be nothing to gain. If I wanted lots of easy puzzles, I’d do puzzle rush.
They’ve stuffed up the algorithm and are being very slow to rectify it. Is there a way other than the forum to raise this?

I think it has to do with mobile app: I'm getting sub 2000 puzzles on mobile but works regularly on PC, at least for me.

Submitted now thanks!
No, you are getting better,
I don't know what happened, but today I gained 700 hundred puzzle rating points and reached 3100 from my previous highest of 2600, solving about 90% of puzzles. Has anyone noticed the same thing or am I just on fire today?
