“The Square Root of Wonderful” was the name of play on Broadway.

If each letter in WONDERFUL stands for a different digit (zero excluded) and if OODDF, using the same code, represents the square root, then what is the square root of WONDERFUL?

(In reply to Not Quite Pencil and Paper by brianjn)

My solution was similar ,but shorter :

Sterting with 2299f,  and checking the squares for f   =  3 4 7 8   then 2288f  and checking the squares for f   =  3 4 7 8  etc

 I got the answer quickly 

 

 The only problem is uncertainty whether additional solutions exist.
