Rules:
Normal 4x4 Sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1-4 in every row, column and 2x2 box once each.
Each line has their own specific rule;
- Yellow: Adjacent cells must be consecutive.
- Green: Adjacent cells can't sum to 5.
- Blue: Adjacent cells must have a different parity (odd/even).
- Purple: Two adjacent cells never read a double digit prime number together. (i.e., 1432 is an invalid configuration because you get 14, 43, 32 and 43 is a prime number.)

Added an example for the purple line rule to prevent it from being confused with "sums of adjacent digits can't be prime"

.proxz14's response: cute comment! Yes, I had to make purple be the most difficult line just like it is in the nyt minigame.

Just to be clear: 7 is a prime number, right?
.proxz14's response: yes a 7 is a prime number, however this puzzle only has digits 1-4 so a 7 can not appear in this grid.
