Puzzle Rating Compared to Game Rating

Do you find  that your puzzle rating  score is very different from you game score? My rating for games is about 1500 and yet I  score  close to 1800 solving  puzzles. Is this normal?

Yes, the puzzle ratings aren't comparable with the playing ratings.

The puzzle ratings mostly reflect persistent effort and memorization.

Have you ever noticed the puzzle rating leaderboard?

Yup, puzzles are usually higher. I think chess.com took a step in the right direction normalizing the bullet/blitz ratings, but I'd like a comparable change for rapid/blitz/bullet/puzzles/daily, and then scale to relative distribution of FIDE (of course approximate)

Higher? So I guess the answer is that you haven't looked at the Puzzles Leaderboard.

Do you think that Vskopalik's 48,003 rating needs an adjustment?
