I wonder if the whole thing counts as a square?  I know it says no square of any size, but...

If not, leave the outside walls alone.

yes, the whole thing is also a 4x4 square, but orange has already broken that. I think this must be a solution. there's probably a bug in their solution checking algorithm. Or they thought they knew all the answers and entered them by hand (if they did this, it's very possible to forget a different form of a solution )

Do the other puzzles say congrats or anything?

I've tried this one several different ways and there's nothing to say you've done it.

yes, they do say "good job, try the next one."
