Emoji Bee

Not emoji charades. Not another loose rebus. Emoji Bee is the daily emoji puzzle that takes the puzzle seriously — emoji combine in predictable (though not always obvious) ways, and every answer is a common phrase, idiom or reference that can be worked out instead of guessed.

Five puzzles a day. Each a familiar (or not so familiar) phrase hiding in plain sight — reveal it with the emoji in your honeycomb and by doing a little emoji math: add them, subtract them, multiply and divide them; play on what they mean, how they sound, and the words they make. You’ll even delight in solving mini-logic puzzles called Emoji Melds, which ask the player what one emoji is as a function of another. (What does fire do to bread? It makes toast!) Each daily game will tickle your left brain and right brain at the same time!

Like a good daily crossword, Emoji Bee calls on — and builds — your knowledge and your solving instincts, not just your emoji fluency. Come back each day and grow your emoji vocabulary, one puzzle at a time.
