Have you ever seen a puzzle where it is "Black to move", but white always wins?

It happens to me every time. After I start my game with 1. e4! it's black to move but white always wins wink

Black to move in the shown position is a win! Black can play the move exf3+, via en passant.

I knew that the second I saw your diagram! Chess.com always gives you the last move with an arrow so you can see the e.p. right. Without that, it's not really a legitimate puzzle. There are many puzzles where white can win by starting with an e.p. move even when there is no reason to assume that he can.
