Today's puzzle type occasionally features over on Puzzle Duel. The puzzles tend to not be my favorite, but I think the genre itself is pretty alright - a good enough reason for me to try and set one for GAPP.

Today's GAPP is a Squares and Rectangles!

Rules:
Divide the grid into regions of orthogonally connected cells, such that each region contains exactly one circle. A region with a black circle in it must be square. A region with a white circle in it must be rectangular (but not square). Regions of the same area cannot share an edge.

Acquire a Speedy Sloth 🦥 by solving in 3:00 or less!
Obtain a Quick Crab 🦀 by solving in 6:00 or less!
All solvers who complete the puzzle will be rewarded with an Off-by-One Oriole 🐦!
