Having seen plenty of episodes both based off the magna and anime originals I've noticed that the AO mysteries tend to be easier to solve than cases from the magna. I'm just wondering if there is a reason for this.

I think it may be that Gosho doesn't write for the AO episodes' scripts, but I may be wrong. Do any of you guys know?

You pretty much answered your own question there. Gosho only writes what's in the manga, so when it's being developed for TV broadcast, often times it get's too close to catching up with how far the manga has reached, so the anime writers develop anime originals. These are often of lesser value compared to Gosho's original work and since they are only anime originals, they cannot develop anything to do with the full plot, because then they would be messing with his work and the overall plot.

Also the quality of the animation seems to be lower too when it comes to AO
