Latin Dime by Cygne

Play in SudokuPad

I got some very supportive comments on my last puzzle, Latin Quarter, including one from Tacocat that suggested a similar concept on a smaller grid for usability in SudokuPad. So I gave it ago! Hope you enjoy. If you do, please check out Latin Quarter as well, though a device with a larger screen is recommended.

Rules

• Normal 6x6 Sudoku rules apply. Each row, column and 3x2 region must contain the digits 1-6 once each.
• Anti-King: Sudoku cells a chess king's move apart cannot contain the same digit.
• 5x5 Latin Squared Circles: Each row and column of Circles must contain the digits 1-5 once each. (The Anti-King rule does not apply to the Circles)
• Quadruple Circles: A digit within a Circle must be contained within the surrounding four Sudoku cells.
• Renban Lines: Digits along a pink line, whether in a Circle or Sudoku cell, comprise a non-repeating set of consecutive digits in any order. See the line behavior example below.
• 3-Whispers Lines: Adjacent digits along a green line, whether in a Circle or Sudoku cell, must differ by at least 3. See the line behavior example below.

Line Behavior

Typically, Line constraints only interact with digits on Sudoku Cells, but in this puzzle they also interact with digits in Quad Circles.

In this example, the cell highlighted in blue is connected via a red parity line to a quad circle containing the digit 1. Because 1 is odd, and quad circles count as values along parity lines in this puzzle, the highlighted cell must be even.
