Don't rush/push me. I need more time to complete/solve this puzzle.



Do all of the underlined words fit in the above sample? If not, why not? Thanks.

Don't rush me. I need more time to solve this puzzle.

Puzzles [apart from jigsaw puzzles] generally require solving. If the puzzle was a jigsaw, then "I need more time to complete this puzzle".

In neither case will "push me" be suitable.
