Emoji Riddle

A rebus puzzle made of emoji. Read the pictures aloud and the sounds give you the phrase — a film, a saying, a song. It is the puzzle people most often make for each other, because a private joke works perfectly as a clue.

How it works

  • Read the emoji aloud — the sound is the clue.
  • Type the phrase into the blanks.
  • A hint gives you a nudge, then fills a letter.
  • Four wrong answers end the round.

The same rules are shown inside the app, on the puzzle’s overview screen — one tap opens the difficulty choice and how to play together, so you never have to go looking for them.

Good if you want…
