I played 1. Qxf4, but it said Incorrect

EASY

Think taking with the knight works just as well

Nice, but in a real game with a short time limit I would definitely do Nxf4 first and then Qd5, as someone already mentioned. It's just as much of a guaranteed mate, but far less damaging if you after starting the sequence you realize you overlooked something - which can easily happen in a blitz game.
The knight sac everyone is talking about doesnt work, because it does force black to take the knight. THe king simply moves to h4
Rg4, mate in 2, in that case. Black must take the knight.

That explains why I didn't see the first move...it wasn't a check.

Ok puzzle insane

Brilliant queen sacrifice! How did black's king end up in the center? Still, unpreventable
easy sacrifice

I hate to give up my queen

Another possible solution1.Nxf4+ exN [.. Kh4 2. Nxg6+ Kh5 [..Kh3 3.Qg4+ Kxh2 4. Qg2#] 3. Qf5#]2.Qd5+ Kh4 [.. g5 3.Qxg5#]3. Qg5+ Kh34. Qg3#More complex, but works.
jenningsnickolas, your alternate solution doesn't quite work, because 4.Qg3+ can be met with fxg3. However, there is a 5-move checkmate very similar to the one you mentioned:
1.Nxf4+ exf4
2.Qd5+ Kh4
3.Qg5+ Kh3
4.Qg4+ Kxh2
5.Qg2#
(4.Qg2 Kh4
5.Qg4# also works)

I couldn't get the first move

Nice one. The Queen sacrifice to bring the knight was cool
Booom-dary
4. Qg3+ fxQ

It's no form to black be free from that mate if black don't take the Queen?
