    delete [] m_pcPuzzle;

Yes, assuming you want to use x[i][j] syntax to access it.

However, since you are coding in C++ there are more efficient (and
less error-prone) ways to implement this, while still preserving the
"double index" syntax. 

Think "class Puzzle { char *operator[](int); ...};"

Oh, and I drop that horrible Hungarian naming convention, would
you ...
