If one has the puzzle number, how does one get back to that puzzle later on?

GREAT - easy thanks!

 

This is interesting.

So if someone shares a puzzle number with me for a puzzle of interest (that I have personally not encountered yet - so it's not in my stats) am I not able to access it?

Did you figure out how to search for a puzzle by puzzle number? I know you can see your own puzzle history and search for puzzles by theme and rating, but I have yet to find a place on the iOS app or chess.com website to plug in a puzzle number.

This is the easiest way I have found it so far (in addition to what I first wrote below): Use this URL template: https://www.chess.com/puzzles/problem/549838 and replace 549838 with the puzzle number. That should work.

I know you can do what snoozyman suggested above and plug someone's username into the URL to see their history and get a link to that puzzle as well. E.g., in https://www.chess.com/stats/puzzles/{USERNAME} you would replace {USERNAME} with that user's username without the braces. You could then use your browser's find feature to put in the puzzle #.

If you find a direct way on one of the interface please advise. Thanks,

Matt
