Wow. I’ve seen a lot of puzzles like that.
The ratings are based on pass rate. It seems many people played some other move and that is why the rating is so high.
It also says the video is unavailable for me.

@AunTheKnight ,
Here is the video, maybe I copied the link badly, I've updated the original post, hopefully it is correct:

Your reaction was hilarious. I would react the same way to that puzzle. Thanks for the video. How strange... I think most people went for the perpetual.
@AunTheKnight , yes, it was so strange to see it at that level :-) Thanks for giving feedback. I see you are doing fantastic with puzzles, but it's strange your blitz is not much higher than that.
I also look at the video again, the last puzzle was also wrong, engine suggests both taking rook or taking bishop are 2.5+ and an easy win (because of passed pawns), but chess.com accepts only taking rook. I originally thought about grabbing the bishop, since I thought passed pawns are good enough, but then during performing the puzzle I've noticed taking rook is slightly better (makes pieces even, but white has several extra passed pawns, very easy win), but I think this is an example of bad puzzle, both solutions are winning.

I guess puzzles want the most precise and quickest way to win. okay

My Internet is quite slow and I just don’t move quickly enough. I’m trying to get my blitz to at least 1400.
@AunTheKnight, bad internet is annoying, I think you will easily reach 1500 with a good internet. Internet has a catastrophic effect.

I know. I also blunder for no reason in blitz… I see I have low time at the beginning of the game and just keep worrying. I have to work on my attitude.
@BroiledRat, you are doing a good job with puzzles.
Also note that knowing it’s a mate in one, makes it even simpler.
I admit that from any angle this is just too easy. There are two possible ways to deliver check (either from e8 or g7) and the board is pretty sparse, nothing left, there is no en passen or any other tricky move involved.

Weird that it has such a low pass rate, I saw instantly and I’m a patzer.

Today in my puzzle training I faced a puzzle that was mate in one and it was rated 2885!! I don't know why, was this too difficult? Or is it new?!
Here is my today's video, I think appears in the middle:

I've spent more than expected time since I didn't expect it to be such a high rated puzzle with only a single move.
