The puzzle 96988 has as a solution Re3 which is a perfectly decent move, but Rxd4 is a forced mate in ten. I did not calculate that of course--stockfish did--I just investigated because Rxd4 looked like the most natural move to me.
Can u pls post the link of the puzzle?

@cptkirchhoff
Rxd4 loses to Qxe1
Qxd4 as well
Bringing an end to the attack
@Koo8384 Kh2
True white still has an advantage after Rxd4 but Re3 gives a higher advantage
@Koo8384 but the stockfish says mate in 12, if Qxe1
@Koo8384 Kh2 and white is threatening Rh4 or Qg5
Ok not Qxe1
But Qxd4 neutralizes according to stockfish
@Koo8384 Rxd4 Qxd4 Be4!
Its really a nice checkmating sequence, but I need stockfish to find it for me haha
