find solutions including those with duplicate digits within numbers, and it marks those with asterisks.

The cleaned up output file (line with asterisks removed) is as follows. The heading abbreviations are spc for square prime cube, etc.:

Only the 4-digit case has categories lacking solutions, so I'm appending the portion of the full output for just those categories within the 4-digit set. I've deleted the asterisks.:

The above do not all validate that the entries be in ascending order. I reran with a check for that, and the results are shown below, with a mixture of solutions that do and do not have duplicate digits within words. Numbers with duplicate digits are marked with an asterisk for ease in spotting them:

Note that only one 4-digit sequence follows all the rules: the square-prime-cube sequence 6241 9241 9261.
