Don't double post. Posting the same vague question isn't going to help. What puzzle? Which temple? What Hold area? Are you referring to Miraak's Temple?

Do you mean the puzzle door or the spinning stone things, a screenshot would help a bunch.

Oh the stepping stone puzzle, it is a bit confusing.

If it is the one that uses the Claw, inspect the claw by turning it in your inventory when you zoom in - that will give you the solution to the puzzle.

it is the puzzle you need the golden claw for i have no idea how to do it but a hint might help

Rotate the Claw in your inventory, you will see 3 symbols on the palm of the claw - that corresponds to the symbols that need to be set on the rotating sections of the puzzle door.

It should appear as on this page:

(which should also give you what you seek)

Well, that confused things, because it isn't a 'temple'. It's Bleak Falls Barrow

Bring up the claw in your inventory, and zoom in on it (default for that on the keyboard is "C"), and rotate it so that the palm is facing you. You'll see three symbols on it, and you have to rotate the symbols on the door so that they show the same thing as on the claw.

Sorry to disagree, but most of these types of Nordic ruins are considered to be temples of the Dragon Cult. The interior is called Bleak Falls Temple.

Yes, never noticed that before.

And yet, all other dungeons labelled "Barrow" across Skyrim and Solthseim aren't Temples. As far as I can tell, Bleak Falls is the exception.

look at the claw. I mean that! Spin it round until you can see the "palm" of it, and you'll see your answer

Just to follow up on the answers you've been given, as a general rule, the claw doors are going to function about the same as this one. Just need to be sure you're looking at the correct claw, if you have more than one with you.

The eagle/snake/whale type puzzles commonly have the answer somewhere around the room, leaving you to match what is displayed nearby, or deduce the correct order from what is missing/misplaced. (ie: the first puzzle in Bleak falls, where two of the plaques are intact and one has fallen, though others are a tad less straight-forward. Match them up correctly and then activate whatever chain/lever to open what you need. Be careful, as these puzzles often have traps, as you saw with the darts in bleak falls.

The link smr1957 posted for you will probably be your best friend in Skyrim. Strongly recommend you make use of the UESP when you have issues, as most of these problems have been encountered and solved before, and UESP takes great care to be as complete and accurate as possible. Toward the bottom of each page there should be a section for common bugs and their workarounds. Easiest way to find it is to google where you are or what the problem is and add UESP to the search. (ie: bleak + falls + puzzle +uesp).
