How do I use FEN to create a puzzle from mid game (not final board)

The FEN string I tried to paste only shows the final board settings.   I wanted a few moves back, so I can create a puzzle from the last few moves to checkmate.   How do I do this?

Like I want the FEN at move #24 (Not #26)

Is this the position you want?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If so, it is r5k1/5ppp/1p6/p1p5/7b/1PPrqPP1/1PQ4P/R4R1K b - - 0 1

I think the analysis board used to update when you went through the game, maybe even the main game board, but apparently it isn't doing it now. I used another program to grab that and it is pretty trivial to learn how to build a FEN by hand if too. The hardest part to remember are the last couple of fields (in my opinion).

Thanks, I just recreated the board a few moves back by using the board editor.
