Hi!
I have a question about lichess puzzles rating.
How it usually correlates with rapid ratings or maybe other ratings?
If you have statustics, is it usually higher or lower statistically than rapid reatings?
Is it higher if you solve easy or hard puzzles usually?
What puzzle rating bases on? And how puzzles get their ratings?

It is actually important and good to know. I want you to answer some questions.

I can explain the basics. Think of doing a puzzle like playing an opponent. If you get it right, you "win", your rating goes up, the puzzle's rating goes down. If you get it wrong, you "lose", your rating goes down, the puzzle's rating goes up. A harder puzzle is like a harder opponent. If you get it right, your rating will go up more than with an easier puzzle.

I don't think you can really make any correlation between puzzle ratings and playing ratings. Some people do lots of puzzles, some do hardly any, some people only do easy puzzles, some people only do harder ones. In general, if you are better at chess, you will have a higher rating but I don't think you can say much more than that with regard to comparing it to a particular time control
