Easy

A logic-grid picture puzzle (also called picross or griddlers). Use the number clues to fill in the correct squares and reveal the hidden image.

Each number tells you how many squares in a row to fill in that line, in order. A clue of 2 2 means: fill 2 squares, leave at least one blank, then fill 2 more.

How to Solve This Nonogram

Nonograms (also called picross, griddlers, or hanjie) are logic puzzles that hide a picture inside a grid of numbers:

Start with the bottom row's long run. The very bottom of the hat is a single clue of 13 on a 15-wide grid — that run is forced almost end to end, so the brim's base fills in immediately and gives you a foundation to build up from.
Read the split column clues as the hatband. Six of the middle columns share a clue of 6 3. That gap between the 6 and the 3 is the empty band stripe — once you place the taller crown block and the short piece below it, the white ribbon between them appears on its own.
Watch the tapered brim tips. The outer columns near the brim carry small clues like 2 and a lone 1. Those describe the little curled-up corners of the brim, so don't over-fill the edges — the single cells are intentional.

This puzzle is a 15×15 starting grid. For the full method, edge logic, and tougher techniques once you're ready to level up, read our complete guide to nonograms and advanced nonogram techniques.

About This Puzzle

Dapper Topper dresses up the basic box shape with two nice touches: a hatband, drawn as an empty stripe partway up the crown, and a pair of curled-up brim tips where single corner cells break the straight edge. Those two details make it a friendly step beyond a plain rectangle — still an easy solve, but with a couple of spots that reward reading the clues carefully rather than filling on autopilot.
