I've stopped using the chess.com puzzles, 1) because the timer is infuriating (I know it can be turned off), and 2) some of the problems are terrible. They're ambiguous. If you're lucky, there will be comments explaining, but not always. The problems are frequently missing continuations to see the "point" of the puzzle.
Anyway, I've been doing problems from a book on my Kindle offline. I can do them at my own pace, and the author has hand-selected and explained each problem (unlike the computer-selected ones on chess.com):

As far as tactics as a way to improve, I think it's the single most useful thing you can do. But not all tactics collections are created equally. Some are garbage.
As a beginner, I would say play the Italian for white, as it is more reliable for beginners, with less theory to learn with, and you can practice your attacking at the same time. For black, play the simple 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 and go from there. There are a lot of resources out there to help you out, such as videos on youtube, files on the interet, engines, etc
​
Practising you attacking skills requires you to do tactics, I recommend the book 1001 Chess Tactics, which can be found here

or you can use a tactics trainer such as the ones on lichess.org or chess.com however, lichess is free while chess.com requires a membership
