Why have one puzzle when you could have four? Hence, Quad Square Jam. Even better, it comes with an obligatory

🚨🚨NEGATIVE CONSTRAINT ALERT 🚨🚨

Rules: Divide each grid along cell borders into square regions. A region may contain any number of numbers (including none), each of which must indicate the length of one of the sides of the square. No region borders may form four-way intersections.

An "=" sign indicates that the two squares adjacent to it have the same size. 🚨 All possible "=" signs are given 🚨 (i.e. if a cell in between two grids does not contain a "=", then the squares adjacent to that cell must have different sizes)
