[Bug] Ratings for Puzzles can be cheatable ?

Why is there *From game* option even available even before the puzzle is attempted? Players can click on * From game* link and analyse the game and play the right moves in puzzles. It works.

This "From game" option should be only available after the puzzle is attempted.

Please fix it.
We're not adding a puzzle rating URL to puzzles.

The point is: puzzle rating is hidden because on the same page as where the puzzle is shown, it would suggest what the answer might be. Showing the game URL doesn't *on the same page* suggest what the answer might be; a user would need to click the URL to gain more information.

What i meant was "From game" link should be hidden like puzzle rating until players either solves the puzzles or fails at it.

Because it can still increase the puzzle ratings of some players by gaining access to that information and replaying the correct moves in puzzle.
You can also consult a chess engine to help you win puzzles.

So what? Who cares? It's not a competition.
@thibault

But if someone wants to consult chess engine, they need to manually insert the pieces on board editor, which is time consuming. (this usually deters anyone from doing it, because its hard to do)

"From game" link makes it easier.

Thats why "From game" link should be hidden like puzzle rating until players either solves the puzzles or fails at it.

What i am saying is:
What about "From game" link ? Doesn't it also suggest what the answer might be.
Why does it matter how hard it is to do something when no one cares whether it is done or not?

It's not a bug.
