All i can see is Nxe6, fxe6, Qxe6#, King moves, Qxc6 and the queen doesn't look like its able to be trapped. This wins a pawn. That's all i see, but if this is a puzzle I would think there must be something better .

Additionally this might be important for shutting down blacks pressure on the a2 square. Black has a threat of b4, cxb4, Nxb4: whites knight on c3 is the only thing stopping Qa2 for now. If black can sacrifice for it or deflect it then there is a threat on a2. It wouldn't be checkmate as the king can escape though.

but after Nxe6, black doesnt have to take but can just play Re8 and pin your knight and win it, but you are close

Also your line wins two pawns doesnt it?

Ah yeah the rook move refutes this
