Yes, the puzzles were made automatically. If you can prove, via the engine, that the puzzle is wrong, then vote it down and/or report it.

What mouse? I’m on iPad, but we’ll, I mean I don’t play bullet or blitz a lot, I center in low time controls, so I think lichess could actually make the “are you sure?” Type of moves not only on games, but also on puzzles
Chess dot com given partial credit for puzzles and all it does is encourage people to post I'm 2000 puzzles and 1050 rapid, what should I do?

i think the reason is because there are 5 type of puzzle easy easier normal Harder Hardest i think you choosed easier so you get points under 10 and lose more points than 20 if you choose normal you will get more than 10 and loss under 20 if you choose hard you will get more than 25 and loss under 7 if you choose harder you will get more than 30 or 40 and you will loss under 5 but it is very hard to get puzzles in hard and harder level
I'll answer most of the comments;
1. Before today I wasn't know that I can send incorrect puzzles
2. if you can check mate with two castle and if you can choose anyone of them puzzle must give you winner point castle in the a1 or h8 doesn't matter. but sometimes it doesnt give me points and denies the solution.
3. I don't choose difficulty level. it comes randomly and always and all the time I earn 14 point or so and loose 20 point or more if I can't solve the puzzle. for example i loose 21 point in 2 move puzzle or loose 20 point in 5 move puzle but earn 6 point in 2 move puzzle or 14 point in 6 move puzzle.
4. I understand it doesn't matter if you make perfect moves if you can't win the game. But in Elo pointing system no one earn same points in winnig games or lost same points in loosing games. This is always changes by the moves and taken tools ... so if I can't solve the 6 move puzzle, system can give me fair point when I loose the puzle like the chess games. for example if 5 move puzzle's point is 20 and I loose the game in last move I must lost -5 point (minus five) not -20...

Please show us this puzzle. Here's the puzzles you recently completed: lichess.org/training/history, you will find the URL there.
and now while I remaster on my old puzzles I lost 18 point (on review mode) :(

how could I remember which puzzle which? I solve thousands of puzzles and also I work on 7/24 job in Türkiye. I just remember kind of these type games and I don't say only "puzzles are wrong" I also say pointing system wrong too. Why did you ask only "which puzzle? which puzzle?" I don't live with lichess sorry for that. I played more than 1890 puzzles. If you wonder which game is like that you can search on my history...

(I'm a little pissed off with pointless questions. >:( ...)
