what's with the puzzles recently?

about a month (or less) ago, i noticed the puzzles that i'm getting have been out of whack.

It used to be that puzzles are relative to your rating +/-500 depending on your success streak

But recently, the new algorithms are giving me ones that are ALL OVER THE PLACE ;

for example they can be as low as 1600 but as high as 3800, and rest are scattered all over the place in between regardless of what kind of streak i'm on

is anyone else experiencing this? it's causing my rating to bleed

There are some back end changes with puzzle ratings and the selection algorithm and rating changes are based on those. The rating showing in the interface currently is likely not correct.

There's work being done to update the interface to show the updated ratings.

Are these back end changes also responsible for many puzzles appearing over and over again?
