Emoji Riddle
Also known as Rebus, Emoji Quiz and Guess the Phrase
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…
- Something playful rather than rigorous
- A puzzle to solve with someone else looking on
- Building an in-joke into a puzzle for a friend
