Solver for A-Puzzle-A-Day by Dragonfjord

I just bought this awesome puzzle and have been enjoying it along with my sons.

Some days are easy, but other days can be extremely hard to solve! As a fun project with the kids and an escape hatch when we need one, together we wrote this command-line solver. Requires Node 16.

Usage

Clone the repository and run node index.js using Node 16

After a few seconds you'll get some ASCII art like:

╔═════════════════╦═══════════╦═════╗
║                 ║           ║ Jun ║
║                 ║           ╠═════╣
║                 ║           ║     ║
╠═════╦═══════════╩═════╗     ║     ╠═════╗
║     ║                 ║     ║     ║     ║
║     ╚═══════════╗     ╠═════╝     ║     ║
║                 ║     ║           ║     ║
╠═══════════╗     ║     ║     ╔═════╣     ║
║           ║     ║     ║     ║  20 ║     ║
║     ╔═════╩═════╩═════╩═════╬═════╝     ║
║     ║                       ║           ║
║     ╚═════╗     ╔═══════════╩═══════════╝
║           ║     ║
╚═══════════╩═════╝

If you want to specify a different day, use node cli.js 23/12 (or whatever DD/MM you want to solve for).

Enjoy!
