There are plenty of easy puzzles available, but not too many hard ones. My target solver is someone who can't get enough high-quality, tough puzzles online. This way I'll do a theme if I get a good idea, but if I don't, then I can just do a themeless. They're not all themelesses, but probably more than 40 will be.
