Asymptotic formula for suffix-restricted squares in base 10

From papers

For a base B2B\ge 2 and a digit set D{0,1,,B1}D\subseteq\{0,1,\dots,B-1\} with D2|D|\ge 2, let ωBD(n)\omega_B^D(n) denote the number of nn-digit suffixes in base BB from DD that occur as the suffix of a square. Suffix-count conjecture. For all n3n\ge 3,

ω10{7,8,9}(n)=83n3.\omega_{10}^{\{7,8,9\}}(n)=8\cdot 3^{n-3}.

This is a computer-supported conjectural pattern for the specified suffix digits; the source gives no proof or resolution.
