Was studying Anki when i came across やっと難しい問題が解けった

Instead of using the が particle, would it also be plausible to use the を
particle here? I know that transitive sentences normally uses を and
intransitive uses が, but how "wrong" (in terms of trying to express my
thoughts to others) is it to use を in this case. Would the other party, not be
able to decipher what I am trying to say? I know that using the verb 解かす with
the を particle would probably be more correct, but I am just curious on
whether it is still decipherable to others

question
transitivity
transitive and intransitive verbs using を/が particle
解ける happens to be the potential form of transitive 解く:

> 問題が解ける (present)、問題が解けた (past)  
>  ↑ intransitive "solve"  
>  問題が(orを)解ける (present)、問題が(orを)解けた (past)  
>  ↑ **potential** form of transitive 解く "solve"

So grammatically speaking you can say:

> やっと難しい問題 **が** 解けた。 _The problem finally got solved / I could finally solve
> the problem_  
>  やっと難しい問題 **を** 解けた。 _I could finally solve the problem_

No, use 解 **く** , not 解かす here:

> 問題を解 **く** (present)、問題を解 **いた** (past)  
>  ↑ transitive "solve"

You're right that とかす is transitive, but it means "melt" "dissolve" "comb out"
etc. (溶かす, 融かす, 解かす, 梳かす etc.) You don't say 問題を解かす to mean "solve a problem".

So you can say:

> やっと難しい問題 **を** 解いた。 _I finally solved the problem_

For example, if you said:

> *パソコン **を** 壊れた。  
>  *ガソリンの値段 **を** 上がりました。  
>  *お風呂 **を** 沸いた。

it'd depend on the context but native speakers would usually think that you
meant to say:

> パソコン **が** 壊れた。 or パソコンを壊 **し** た。  
>  ガソリンの値段 **が** 上がりました。  
>  お風呂 **が** 沸いた。 or maybe お風呂を沸 **かし** た。
