Tactics puzzles
Chess puzzles, but TFT. One board, one best move: place a unit, swap two, or make the call. Every puzzle explains the key afterwards and links the guide section it comes from. Start at your rank; the tiers above it are the reason you are stuck.
Iron – Silver
One idea per puzzle: frontline in front, carry behind, hold the pair, do not roll at 2-1. If it feels obvious, good: that is the habit forming.

Gold – Platinum
Two things interact: a scout report and a placement, an item slam and a future carry, interest and a pair. Nothing exotic, but you have to read the whole board.

Emerald – Diamond
Counter-positioning against real threats, econ calls with a clock on them, when the standard play is wrong. The lobby matters as much as your board.

Master+
Several threats, one hex. Marginal calls with two acceptable answers and one clearly wrong one. If you disagree with the key, read the explanation and then disagree properly.
