Do you get the same score at puzzles and actual games?

Hello,

I wonder if people get in general the same score at tactics trainer and in actual games on lichess? And the same for bullet/blitz/classical? Are we supposed to be at the same level on all games?

Or does time matter a lot? (to me it seems clear the answer to this last question is yes)
I have a stronger rating in puzzle than in my games because i think more in puzzle, because i know it's position with a mat or it's position can win a queen, rook, ect...
Ok this is true it is quite biased (though sometimes the best moves just make you take a bishop and there is no mate sequence). How much do your scores differ?
i have ~1800 rating in puzzle and ~1500 in my games.
But you can see rating puzzle on the profil of everybody
Ah yes, thank you, I did not notice. I have 1000-1100 in bullet (I am very often short on time) and usually 2100-2200 in training, so that makes a huge difference, I think I really need some time to think to my moves. I have looked at good players on lichess TV and they move so fast that I thought they were computers.

Perhaps they play so often that they know by heart at least all the first moves for each pawn opening.
My rating ranges between 1400-1500 points in Classical games, 1900+ in puzzles (with difficulty set to normal) and in ChessTempo I'm 1800+ (difficulty set to hard).

I spend between 5-20 minutes for each puzzle. I'm slow thinking, but hopefully when I get faster I can do better in live games...
I usually spend 1-3 mins for each puzzle and play only classical games
Puzzles are just a bit higher - 100 points in general.
I have 2600 elo in puzzle, i think no one is better than me. I usually spend 300 seconds on each.
im top 6 in classical
