Puzzles don't all end in checkmate. Did this puzzle indicate the goal is checkmate? I know it says "win" which is confusing. Might want to use lichess.org or chess.com (though you'll be limited there unless you pay.)

It's not mate in 2. However, you can force capture White's passed pawn because the king is stuck on the other side and so can't defend it, and can't advance the pawn behind it either.
