I enjoy the good puzzles, but not all of them are good, we cannot anticipate on wrong moves.
I've seen this now a few times.
it should be possible to downvote puzzles and get them removed. I see it when I blunder but anticipating on puzzle blunders is ridiculous.
at least make an option in the mobile client to verify the puzzle to a good chess engine or so.
It doesn't happen often but every so now and then and it kills ratings.
Don't respond that I don't understand them I do. they're just not all high quality puzzles. And there is no way currently to do something against it

The vast majority of puzzles should be valid. The initial move you're looking for should be the only good move, regardless of the reply. Sometimes, a continuation is given to illustrate a particular themes (and may have been played in the original game).
If you do run across a puzzle you think is bad otherwise, validate the solution by using the Analysis option, and if there's more than one solution, or it's otherwise still a bad puzzle, you can report it on the website.
