solved practice puzzles and the woodpecker method

I'd like to try practicing puzzles I've already solved as part of my practice routine, am I missing something on the page or is that not easily possible?

To maybe explain why, I've now been recommended repeatedly going over the same puzzles (not exclusively off course) as a good learning tool multiple times, the woodpecker method seems to be based on this for example. It seems to be a good way to improve pattern recognition.

It might be a nice feature to think about. (I'll refrain from saying should be easy to implement... because it's often not even when it "should" be... ;)
People need more board overview then only pattern recognition comes along. The way to solve puzzles is mostly board overview and calculation. . There are even puzzle themes on lichess.

Actually playing more improves pattern recognition, that's how you actually improve.

It's just a style of practice many people including
grandmasters like, and I'd love to try it with the amazing puzzle data base of lichess.
The puzzle themes are certainly an amazing tool, but Woodpecker style repetition would be a great addition imho.
Actually just being able to set the rating of the puzzles I get would be cool. (The easier and more difficult options are not a replacement for that, I think so at least...)

I'm just doing unrated puzzels now, so I can stay at one difficulty for now until I've really honed that level, which is at least a version of the woodpecker method and working okay for now.
