Twice Removed Puzzle Solver

The "Puzzler" application is a simple Qt application for solving the Twice Removed puzzle, by Allen R. Morgan, which appeared in the New York Times in August 2012.

It uses a brute-force approach to solve the puzzle, which still completes in a couple of seconds on reasonably current machines. I wrote a command-line solver for this back in 2012 after the puzzle appeared, and wrote this Qt version to teach myself Qt in 2018. I provide it here with source, for others to use as an example.
