I’ve been doing a lot of puzzles as of recently and I have got the SAME EXACT puzzle 2-3 times on a couple of puzzles. This is a bug and feels unfair as I get rating for a puzzle I know the answer for already. Also what my friend has found I it is the same for me is the time bonus is best between 18-20 seconds as a solve time as you get 20 puzzle road points from it and under 5 seconds you only get 5 puzzle road points. This makes the time bonus feel misleading because it’s not speed based, it’s about solving all but one or two moves and waiting until 18-20 seconds, which I often won’t do as I want to solve the FAST and get more points from that then waiting 10-15 extra seconds for more points. Are these known bugs?

The speed bonus is completely dependent on solve time versus the target time for each given puzzle. Repeated puzzles are possible and at higher ratings will be more common

I have my puzzle rating at 1900ish and I got the same puzzle 3 times in a row and then a 4th time a few puzzles later. For almost every puzzle I have done in under 10 seconds I get 5-10 and over 15 seconds get me 15-25 guaranteed.

Hi SilverWolf

I’m having the same problem too, as well as issues with puzzle battle pairing me.

Was that today? If so the site was experiencing issues and that could have been the cause

It was today, this morning that it happened BUT the time bonus has been being weird for a while now
