Gamefaqs defines a spoiler as giving away plot details but some people on twitch think you can spoil puzzles by telling the person the answer. I think spoilers and hints are two separate things

Probably. Might depend on the puzzle/game.

Yeah definitely, depending on the game. The Witness comes to mind as a game that can be spoiled massively if someone tells you certain puzzle solutions.

I'd say yeah. Especially in a puzzle-based game. It's easy to be like "Yeah that puzzle was hard, here's the solution: Solution." It doesn't take much effort to block something someone might want to figure out on their own.

It may not fall under the technical definition of a "spoiler" if it isn't specifically related to the plot, but it can definitely diminish the enjoyment someone derives out of a game if they already know how to solve a puzzle.
