Hi Unclued, yes 11213 is correct (it was my last entry also).
Wintonian, I have a note of using the digit sum (16) > digit sum (10). As far as I can see it was useful in reducing the possible answers for 16.
In terms of whether this was a good puzzle or not, I readily concede that it would have taken some time to set, but as stated previously, much of it was a tedious number slog for the solver. And due to limited self-checking, one omission in looking up candidate squares cost me a lot of time.
Overall, this probably belongs in the Hermann Hesse basket. In one of his books, he rails against people who spend all their free time solving puzzles rather than confronting the more meaningful issues of their existence. I suspect that Hesse might have had stronger words yet about this puzzle.
