Standard Sudoku rules apply.
Cells containing values exactly one greater than an immediate neighbour (diagonal or orthogonal) within their box are shaded (and otherwise unshaded).
Cells with lozenges contain prime numbers.
Solution code: Row 1

Thanks! Ultimately very easy, once you get familiar with the ruleset. But if you're not familiar, it's very easy to get sloppy.

Just recently (within last 6 months) started variant sudokus. This has been my favorite so far!

Thank you for this! Wish I had done this before Female of the Species to get familiar with the shading rule as this was a great introduction to the thinking needed there.
---Yeah, you did kind of jump in at the deep end with Species, but all the more kudos to you for the solve. Thanks for the kind comment. ---ATK

Nice puzzle on the easier side. But I did enjoy that one as well.
---Thanks Tamuha, making a mixture of difficulties is something I strive to do, next week's will be meaty again. ---ATK
