Hi @Nanutria 👋
You're not imagining things, the puzzle ratings shown can sometimes feel a bit off, especially when you're at a high puzzle rating like 3200+. A few things to keep in mind:
• The number shown before the puzzle isn’t always the actual puzzle rating; it's just an estimate. The real rating is only finalised after the puzzle is completed and rated based on how most users perform on it.
• Even with "Extra Hard" selected in settings, the system still mixes in some slightly lower-rated puzzles to maintain variety and flow, especially if you’ve recently had a few fails or skipped puzzles.
• The "difficulty" setting mostly affects Puzzle Rush and Custom puzzles. Rated puzzles are still selected to match your current performance and rating trajectory.
If it feels too easy, that might be a sign you're improving! 😎 But I get that you'd want more of a challenge, perhaps try Custom puzzles with strict filters (e.g., 3200–3400) or take on Puzzle Battle to keep the edge sharp.
Hope that helps!
