Is it just me, or are chess.com puzzles much harder than other sites like chesstempo and lichess? And by harder, I mean ABSURDLY harder. I can honestly say that a puzzle rated 600 here is as hard as puzzles rated 1200 or higher on CT. I'm a beginner so maybe the difficulty difference isn't there when you get to higher level ones, but I can slip up on 400 puzzles here, whereas on CT that would literally never happen as they're so simple there even for me. On Lichess, I can do puzzles rated 1500+ without too much difficulty, but here, the highest I've ever managed is probably like 1000. I don't get it.
Ratings are relative to other puzzles on the site, not to puzzles on other sites. That said- there are some seriously mis-rated puzzles here. I report them using the "Report" (!) button.
