This is from the chess master app. That's the solution of the puzzle (to win).

It's level 3, puzzle 18

If it says "checkmate in 3" its an actual checkmate, idk why but "winning" in puzzles means just "a big advantage"

EDIT: Yeah, I just downloaded and went through all the puzzles. Its the first one that isn't a checkmate, you just win a big trade. Typically the harder puzzles aren't about finding a mate always, sometimes it's winning a piece or just getting a good fork/pin/position.
