Crazyhouse puzzles and Crazyhouse960 on Chess Variants Training

First of all, a big thanks to @ProgramFOX and @causa-sui for this website, which is a nice resource to have for a game as tactical as crazyhouse. A few things:

I personally wouldn't mind a "Mate in ___" tag for each puzzle. In crazyhouse when there's one mate, there are often a dozen slightly less efficient ones. For training purposes it's not that useful to find m5 vs. one of several m6's, imo. I also think it would be great to have timed puzzles, since zh is played almost exclusively at faster time controls (could also combine this with the above and leave "Mate in ___" off of untimed puzzles).
Last thing - I have trouble with dragging piece drops, often it drags the entire piece jail and I have to click to cancel (using latest version of Firefox).
I've seen that bug too; the problem is that it just sometimes happens and I can't reliably find a way to drag a piece to trigger it. This means that I can't just try out a fix to see if it works because it might just be coincidence that the bug doesn't happen.
Thanks for creating this! I'm a big fan of both puzzles and crazyhouse and was hoping someone would eventually build this :)
Anyone who wants to play zh960 with me send message.
Thank you very very much.

Im new to ZH. Played it the first time ever a few months ago; and I'm currently addicted. Its not crazyhouse. Its crackhouse. One game and your hooked.

Anywho, definitely could use some work; and the puzzles should be just what I need.

ZH960 sounds like too much for me; since I'm still new. But, will definitely give it shot once I get to 2K or so.
