Is it against the rules to use the computer to solve puzzles?

I just wonder if using the computer to solve puzzles would be allowed since it's non-competitive and I just want to see how 2400 puzzles are like.

Isn't that sort of like cheating at solitaire? What's the point? The idea is to learn.
As far as I know, puzzles are not rated, so you can solve them any way you want.

Yeah go ahead and use it. Solve difficult puzzles with your 1300 rated account and mess up the puzzles' difficulty ratings. Make life harder for everyone else.

Hell, why not use computers in rated games? Same task (just moving wooden pieces around) and you win more, right? Yes, please go ahead and do it. NOBODY will complain.

Lichess, it's time to allow computer-assisted play! Chess = computer play ground!

@blind_man_walking maybe be a little nicer? Being a douche won't help. He obviously doesn't have bad intent and probably didn't even know that it would mess with the ratings of the puzzles, or else he wouldn't even consider it. Thanks @thibault for helping him out.

I mean this in a friendly way, but why bother with this?
There are hundreds of free tactics trainers out there, why fake solving puzzles just to see something difficult?
As #3 said [albeit quite rudely] it would mess with the difficulty ratings.
You will get more satisfaction by pushing yourself and solving them yourself :)
If you can't solve the puzzles that will take you to 2400, then what benefit could seeing the 2400 puzzles bring?
Good luck

What benefit? Curiosity for one. Human beings is curious by nature.

If he didn't know it would actually affect others that isn't that unreasonable idea if he doesn't care of his own rating at least temporarily.

Def not worth rude response.

You want to see 2400? You may be very disappointed if you see lichess.org/training/123999 and many more like that.
