I created a
Chess.com account and my Puzzle Rush (3 min) record is, after only 6 tries (because I ain't gonna pay up, no way!), 20. How good is 20? It is congruent with my ratings here on Lichess?
P.S.: I think I could have done a little better than 20 were I on Lichess – 'cause I don't like the size of the board, the pieces etc. on
Chess.com, and it gets under my skin.
You can use
chesscup.org. Free puzzle rush and the puzzles are I think taken directly from lichess.
20 is not bad, I'm sure you can improve. 30+ is a very good score for a regular player.
In the Puzzle Rush World Championship the players (mostly IMs and GMs), they were often getting 50+. Above 50 is a very very good score, and close to 60 is a great score (almost world class).
70 is the world record.
Keep in mind one way that many players were getting good scores was that they played the Puzzle Rush thousands of times, over and over, and started to memorise all the puzzles. Therefore, they were not solving all the puzzles new each time, they were just remembering the moves each time. The players that didn't do as well, but still got over 50 sometimes.
If you are getting over 30, you are doing great. But as long as you are happy with your progress you are doing fine. If you improve from here you are doing well.
I can sometimes do 20, usually 15 and it seems to be congruent with my ratings.

@General0_0AdvanceThanks (really), wasn't aware of this website!
I just did 5 runs: 11 lowest (epic fail); 21 highest. (Seemed harder than on
Chess.com)
BTW: Oddly, its puzzles definitely don't seem they're from
Chess.com! (can't really explain *how*, though...)
Yes chesscup has more difficult puzzles at the beginning.
20 is pretty good.
My record is 30 and my average score is 23. I do the one free puzzle rush daily..
