Well, I don't usually ask for help and I don't want solutions handed to me, but getting another player's thought process doesn't seem like cheating. I suppose it depends on whether there's one trick to always solving the puzzle, in which case learning the solution without solving it yourself ruins the fun, or whether it's a game that you can always keep improving at and never completely be perfect at (like Mini Metro, which everyone loses eventually, or Poker, or chess, etc) where sometimes learning from others' strategies helps you level up and become familiar with concepts that unlock further skills and open up new questions as well.
