 		Hmm... this is odd. I hadn't solved today's puzzle, when I did I got the points (bringing me up to 75 points), but I'm ranked as joint 4th.

I wonder who the three people who gained higher points are?

~Archopestheyresetthescoreswhenthesitecomesoutofbeta...

**EDIT**

Make that sixth place now...

**EDIT AGAIN***
Okay... I'm definitely missing something... my rank keeps dropping.

lots of people were on 75 yesterday, so if they solve todays puzzle they'll be on 100 now.

one weird thing, though .. everyone with 75 should be joint 2nd. either there are a bunch of people with a score that's different to 100 or 75, or the sorting algorithm that they use will only group so many people together on a joint-score before moving up a number and doing another batch (if you see what i mean)

i'm gonna try logging out and then in again to see if i can get points for today, or tomorrow...

 		i just noticed this while trawling my friends' profiles to see if they were playing...

one guy had this

Points: 0 | Rank: 1

and another guy had this

Points: 100 | Rank: 1

i think they need to re-write some code Smile

 		Hmmm... I think so too.

Currently there are about 6-7 people number 1 on the leaderboard with 100 points.

How did they manage to get 100 points already? Unless I slept through a day, there's only been three daily puzzles, right?

Is there some other way to win points?

Nyeh. I'm sure it'll all get ironed out.

 		Anyone else noticing that quite a few of the wordplay puzzles are shared with the boardgame? Confused

I must also have missed out on the third puzzle. I've been checking pxc.com frequently, and I was wondering why there was such a long delay for the current daily puzzle (hidden animals) to appear. Looks like I missed out. Sad

Other people missed out even though they did answer yesteray's puzzle correctly - PXC decided not to give us any points for it. So don't worry oto much.

 		I really wish they would definitively state what the points are awarded for. I assumed puzzle of the day, but...maybe it's just for puzzle solving? X number of solved puzzles gives you 25 points, etc...

 		I noticed that yesterday's PotD didn't have any point prize. I'd already completed that puzzle as part of their general bank of puzzles, and I wondered if that was why I then didn't get any points.

Something's up.

 		I think the points are definitely for daily puzzles. Problems seem to occur when a user has already soved a puzzle being used as a daily puzzle. At least that's what it looks like to me.

 		And the site is down at the moment, which probably means that they're working to fix such matters as we speak.

I don't know but it definitely sounds weird, I've got points for all 4 puzzles now, had solved 1 before and still got points.
