I did it, it was a puzzle
How could it be a puzzle if the moves are listed?

There is a brilliant
Getting there.
Next time start with 2. Qxf8+!! and you have got yourself a puzzle!
It's so annoying when a chess puzzle is a mate in 3 and the computer marks your moves right after only 2 moves. Does anyone else with that mate in n moves puzzles would let you play n moves, not n-1 or n-2 moves?

If there are multiple mates in one on the third move the puzzle will stop after the second move so the solver will not get marked wrong for a correct mating move by choosing the wrong one. Yes, it is annoying and a dilemma for puzzle creators. But it avoids the complaints asking why they failed with a completely correct move.
Thank you Bryan. A good point. In the future, coders will likely overcome this issue. For now though, rather than feel frustrated, I can understand. Also, if I want I can look for multiple equal routes to victory.
