Yeah reporting thing will work, these problems are not common but happens...try to shift this thread to help and support forum...mods are more likely to react there. Make sure you’ve mentioned the puzzle Id while reporting.

I was doing a puzzle earlier and I could see two possible solutions. I went with one and it was marked it as incorrect, so I did the other and solved the puzzle.
However through going to the self analysis tab I realized that the move that I did which the computer marked as incorrect was actually the better move. It captured the enemy rook in two moves while the other took three, and ended with mate in 12 while the other was mate in 20. Should I report this somewhere?

If you're in the website, there is a report button on tactics.

Do you have a link to the puzzle? I'm not seeing it on your recent failed puzzles.

That's not a puzzle from the site as far as I can tell.

i did find a puzzle with 2 solutions, i mean, one move is more obvious and leads to faster checkmate but the one marked as incorrect also leads to mate so technically it has an incorrect move that is still winning. https://www.chess.com/puzzles/problem/164275/practice Rg7+, Rh7+ and Rcg7# is the correct line but repeating moves once with Rg7+, Rh7+ and Rg7+ again is totally fine and still leads to checkmate but is marked as incorrect. That pattern with the rooks is common in puzzles and in most puzzles the sequence ends after the 2nd check but this one didn't.

If you allow for repeating moves, a lot of puzzles could have multiple solutions. In a case like that, the mate that doesn't repeat is going to be the solution.
Now, if there were two different mates, both forced but one was a move longer without repeating, that's something the site would likely change.
