Typing in moves in puzzles

Hello,

As a blind chess player, I enjoy playing on Lichess. This is because the feature to type in your move in UCI-format makes it possible for me to play on this site. However, this feature is not availble when solving puzzles. For this reason, it is not possible for me to train my tactical skills on this site. Could y ou make this option available for puzzles as well, so that I and other blind chess players can enjoy this website even more?
how can you know the starting position of the puzzle ? :/
i mean you cant see it i guess
I tried one puzzle and I 'saw' that the moves were shown, so I can play through the game until the puzzle position is reached.
(I know the word 'saw' might sound strange, but I still use that kind of words because it's just common language. In fact I hear it because my computer can speak out the text on the screen.)
ah ok :)
i would say that "saw" is the right word becouse i heard might sound as if you are not totally sure ^^

Then i support this request :)
It shouldn't be too difficult to add an FEN string to the puzzles as well, no?
there is always a link to the game of the puzzle, the downside is that the solution to the puzzle is also shown in there.

just a reminder, looking at your profile you mostly play correspondence chess, on lichess it is allowed to look at the masters opening book in the analyses screen when playing correspondence chess.
so dont be surprised when even lower rated players play perfect openings.
