Puzzle of the day 13933

NOTICE: This post contains solutions. Do not continue reading if you don't want to see solutions

For the puzzle of today (13933) I came up with a solution, which happened to be wrong, but also mate in the same amount of steps as the solution.
Did I miss a move that could break my solution? If not, then would there be a reason for lichess to do it their way?
My solution would be:
-- bF3+
kH3 qE6+
qG4 qxG4#
Thanks in advance! Slowly learning more advanced moves and thoughts on the game
I think its due to the fact that you didnt see the pawn that can move, take a look at this:
-- bF3+
kH3 qE6+
But then at this point the queen doesn't have to go g4 as the pawn can do it instead. This then leads to a long and drawn out battle that loses the forced checkmate sequence.
Thanks! Keep playing!
Ah you are right thank you for your help :) Indeed missed that move. Those kind of misses make me a terrible player haha
