Can I play past puzzles?
Yes. Open Past puzzles to replay any guess the movie emoji puzzle from the last 50 days. Each day is a separate game with its own result.
What happens when I skip?
A skip uses one of your five chances and shows the next clue. It helps when the emoji so far could fit too many films.
Why do some emoji look like boxes?
Every clue uses emoji from Unicode Emoji 12.0 (2019) or earlier, without flags, so they show on Windows 10, Android 10, iOS 13 and newer. An older system may show an empty box; updating the system or browser fixes it. Emoji also look a little different on each device.
How is this different from Framed, Moviedle and Unlimited?
Guess the Movie Emoji uses only emoji and film facts, with no pictures or video. Framed shows six movie stills, Moviedle plays trailer clips of 1 to 16 seconds, and Unlimited lets you guess from short video clips as often as you like.
