Hello, Albert!

$ABB,$ and $CDC$ are two 3-digit numbers, such that:

(1) $CDC-ABB\,=\,25$

(2) $\overline{ABBCDC}$ (6-digit number) is a perfect square.

Find: $\sqrt{ABBCDC}$
(where A,B,C,D are distinct digits)

Spoiler

From (1), we have the alphametic: $\;\begin{array}{cccc} & C&D&C \\ -&A&B&B \\ \hline &&2&5\end{array}$

There are only 3 solutions.

$[1]\;\begin{array}{cccc} & 2&0&2 \\ - &1&7&7 \\ \hline &&2&5\end{array}$

$\qquad$But $ABBCDC \,=\,117,\!202$ is not a square.$[2]\;\begin{array}{cccc}&3&1&3 \\ -&2&8&8 \\ \hline && 2&5 \end{array}$

$\qquad$But $ABBCDC \,=\,288,\!313$ is not a square.$[3]\;\begin{array}{cccc}&4&2&4 \\ - & 3&9&9 \\ \hline && 2&5 \end{array}$

$\qquad$And $\sqrt{ABBCDC} \:=\:\sqrt{399,\!424} \;=\;632$

If restriction (1)CDC-ABB=25 is taken away
how many soluions we can find ?
