What puzzle No. is it?
Sorry, I was fixated on the board, not the bug - It has been reported on here many times and support is aware/working on it.
It works for any puzzle i think
Idk if its recent, my friend just told me about it yesterday.
Dw we both didn't exploit it
Yeah, it worked on my end too. That definately needs to be fixed soon because that is a huge rating grabber.
See, after using the move, you can refresh and it will still count, and here you can just use the hint again

They are only cheating themselves.
true, but people don't think of that when they cheat in regular games.
Well I'm just pointing this out because it could be why some people have very high puzzle ratings and very low game ratings :/

I do agree, it should indeed be fixed ASAP.
A part of me hopes it's some sort of Honey Trap for cheating proclivity.
Does anyone also know why sometimes chess.com just decides to troll you and gives you a backrank mate in one when you're already like 2400+ rated?
lol
I'm trying to record a video of me using the bug, does anyone know how to do that?
Yesterday I got one of those and I literally stared at it for like 20 seconds trying to figure out if I was missing something
lol
There has been many reports about this, but Chess.com hasn't fixed it yet. Puzzles are about improving your chess skills so solving it by yourself is important, not the rating you see. I hink people could use this exploit if they want because they are only damaging theirself, not others

My puzzle rating is abnormally high compared to my other ratings, and I think the reason for that is that when I get a puzzle, I know that there will be a tactic that I need to solve. I don't realize when that arrives in a real game, so I miss out on the tactic.
Shouldn't this be changed soon?
