thank you all for helping me in adding an average score per move to my SQL JOIN.

Of course I would like to add yet another statistic and now am trying to add the average time per move to the same query, by prepending it a CTE with LAG():

                 WITH cte AS (
                        SELECT
                                m.gid,
                                m.uid,
                                m.played,
                                LAG(m.played) OVER (PARTITION BY m.gid ORDER BY played) AS prev_played
                        FROM words_moves m
                        JOIN words_games g ON (m.gid = g.gid AND m.uid in (g.player1, g.player2))
                        WHERE m.played > CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - interval '1 month'
                ) 
                SELECT
                        u.elo,
                        AVG(c.played - c.prev_played) AS avg_time_per_move,
                        (SELECT ROUND(AVG(score), 1) FROM words_moves WHERE uid = u.uid) AS score,
                        s.given,
                        s.photo
                FROM words_users u 
                JOIN words_social s USING (uid)
                JOIN cte c USING (uid)
                WHERE u.elo > 1500 
                -- take the most recent record from words_social
                AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 
                                FROM words_social x 
                                WHERE s.uid = x.uid 
                                AND x.stamp > s.stamp)
                -- only show players who where active in the last week
                AND EXISTS (SELECT 1
                            FROM words_moves
                            WHERE played > CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - INTERVAL '1 week'
                            AND action IN ('play', 'skip', 'swap', 'resign'))
                ORDER BY u.elo DESC
                LIMIT 10;

but this fails with 

ERROR:  42803: column "u.elo" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function
LINE 15:                         u.elo,
                                 ^

And I don't understand why adding a CTE has caused it, because without the CTE the GROUP BY u.elo was not required...

Regards
Alex
