Easy puzzles seen broke, other work . . .

Hmmm, maybe I'm missing something rather obvious and this is a DOH! question . . . I have successfully played (and totally enjoyed) Lichess for hours (improving my skills but, whew, I'm still a bad player) . . .

Anyway, my medium and hard training puzzles seem to work fine but in Easy mode, I keep getting runs of what look like broken puzzles. The solutions are correct once I press give up but it looks, I dunno, maybe the puzzle itself is skipping ahead or behind a step. It's a little confusing. I tried switching browsers in case it's a caching problem but that doesn't seem to work. The one clue I've noticed is that what seem like broken puzzles show up with very low ratings, like 9 or 15 (compared to the usual x hundred rating).

What I am missing here? I glanced at the forum and I didn't notice other people having similar problems.
Here's a bit more detail.

I'm playing a training puzzle. I win. Yay! However, Lichess doesn't show my last move.

The puzzles are correct, the screens I'm seeing are wrong.

In this puzzle, I won. The last screen is the obvious pawn to queen, no one in check . . . but it's the end of the puzzle and I have "Victory! +7"
Have you tried reloading the page after you finish the puzzle?
Not all puzzles end in check or checkmate(?) Is that the "DOH" moment?
"not all puzzles end in check(mate)"

Yes, I'm a bad enough player that sometimes I'm not recognizing obvious checkmates. However, that doesn't explain why it's only happening on Easy and the low ratings.

I've tried reloading the page.
