Tyrgannus

It may not come as a surprise to many of you, but I was a sudoku setter🔢 long before I branched out to other genres. Latin squares 🟪 come naturally to me, and when an* egg-shaped moderator* suggests covering an Ashish Kumar original genre, it's hard to say no to that. Doesn't hurt that I actually really like the logic in it 😉

Today's GAPP is a Consecutive Quads!

Rules: Place numbers from 1-n so that each number appears only once in each row and column. N is equal to the length of each puzzle's row/column length: 5 for the example and 6 for the main puzzle. White dots indicate that the 2x2 area contains exactly one consecutive pair of digits. Black dots indicate that the 2x2 area contains at least two consecutive pairs of digits. Not all dots are given. Numbers may be repeated in 2x2 areas. Any unique pair of consecutive digits counts, even with repeated numbers (So 2-3-3-6 counts as 2 pairs of consecutives since there are two different 2-3 pairs).

Have a look at the example puzzle linked here. Like the main GAPP, you have the choice between penpa and f-puzzles.
