There are literally hundreds of practice puzzles on the site. It would be nice to have a ‘leaderboard’ page where the list of puzzles could be seen sorted or sortable by
I was wondering too. (and already requested too, but we all know where that ends).
In the meantime, here’s where I’m at:

Edit: added rating count.
Edit: fixed Hardest filtering. I hope.
What is the sorting criterion of your “Hardest” ranking? (There are much more than 4 puzzles with <100 solvers).
Just number of solves.
Which did I miss?
Edit: well, this is weird. Debugging.
Edit: ok, understood it. Ewwww…
Cool tables! Do you have access to some CG database or API, or was it manual?
BTW for the ‘Hardest’ puzzles some ‘age’ shall be also included to exlude new additions. (Maybe it is already there.). E.g. Today I solved a new easy puzzle as the #6 solver…
I’m afraid this is merely manual. Proper API access is what’s been requested before.
Judging by the JSON we’ve got access to, I’m beginning to doubt even CG has access to their own databases.
I don’t have a good way to threshold a minimum age for hardest, so that’s all I got for now. Then again, if I run it again sometime, it’ll all even out.
I just found this nice tool for puzzle statistics:
