Now that so many people are entering the puzzle every day, suggestion is that we start again so that the leaderboard reflects relative performance more realistically – we are rewarded, simply for taking part, which means people who started earlier have a built in advantage.
Alternatively, you could allow people to go back to the beginning and play any days they missed.

Good Ideas… What about giving a two week window to catch up by doing back puzzles and then revert to normal or combine with your thoughts

Harvey Kass (lilythepink), I agree it is a bit unfair because players cannot catch up. However, I don't think going back and playing old puzzles is the answer.
I have a couple of ideas. One is to provide two leaderboards, one as now and one which is just based on equity, so you can see the better players. Another idea is to have the bonus for playing drop off exponentially over time, so you get a big boost at the start and less of a boost as time goes on.
