Rated puzzles are acting a bit buggy

Hey everyone,

Has anyone else noticed that rated puzzles are a little glitchy at the moment?

Normally, when I solve a puzzle correctly, it should automatically move me on to the next one. Latey, though, even when I get it right, it just sits there, and I have to click through manually. I checked my settings and couldn’t find the old toggle where you could choose whether to stay or go on to the next puzzle, no matter what the outcome was.

Another thing I’ve run into: sometimes when I finish a puzzle and go to click the “next puzzle” button, it suddenly shifts and I end up clicking the “hint” button instead. That pretty much guarantees that the following puzzle will count as a minus score, which gets pretty annoying. Not the end of the world for me, given my score, but still frustrating when it happens.

Before the recent change (a month or so ago), users could click the “hint” button, refresh the page, play that move, and keep repeating, basically cheesing their way through puzzles. Now that’s no longer possible, which is a good fix, but it does feel like the button layout is a bit awkward at times.
