Should puzzle games always let you skip levels?

As a gamer, I find great joy in unraveling puzzles myself. After learning the game’s mechanics, I encounter obstacles that put my understanding to the test. The sense of predictability that comes with it brings a calming feeling. Every time I solve a puzzle and hear the satisfying click or sound effect, my brain releases a burst of serotonin – a little reward I’ve grown fond of. However, when I get stuck on a particularly challenging puzzle, I appreciate games that let me bypass it and keep progressing.
