That's because puzzles don't have a timer.

Also, games need you to know opening theory that is not useful for puzzles.
I've been doing only puzzles for over a year now and I just started playing blitz. Either I fuck up the opening and get wrecked, or I survive until the mid-game / end-game and I have my chances at winning.

That's exactly where I am. I've been doing only puzzles because it's a shorter time commitment than a full game. I really need to start focusing on openings.
