Answers.Text: I bet the OP meant Nxd5 and was just confused by the upside-down diagram. (When and why did it become fashionable to print chess diagrams upside down? I remember when diagrams always had White moving up the board.) But why is Nxd5 better than bxc3 which also wins a piece?

  This is one of Lichess's puzzles, taken from a real game. Black is on the move.
  [FEN "1r1q1rk1/5pbp/3pbnp1/1p1Np1B1/1p1nP3/P1N2P2/2P1B1PP/R2Q1RK1 b - - 0 1"]
  
  1... Nxe4 2. Bxd8
  
  The suggested move is Nxe4. However, I don't see how Black gains an advantage after White plays Bxd8.
  Correction: The suggested move is Nxd5

  You are quite right Nxe4 makes no sense. However Nxd5 does because then Qxd8 ends up losing 4 pieces for a queen:
  [fen "1r1q1rk1/5pbp/3pbnp1/1p1Np1B1/1p1nP3/P1N2P2/2P1B1PP/R2Q1RK1 b - - 0 1"]
  
  1...Nxd5 2. Bxd8 Nxc3 3. Qd2 Ncxe2+ 4. Kh1 Rfxd8
  
  However if white doesn't take the queen and instead plays the next most obvious move, taking the knight with the e pawn, white still ends up losing a piece:
  [fen "1r1q1rk1/5pbp/3pbnp1/1p1Np1B1/1p1nP3/P1N2P2/2P1B1PP/R2Q1RK1 b - - 0 1"]
  
  1...Nxd5 2. exd5 Qxg5 3. dxe6 bxc3 4. exf7+ Rxf7 5.
