Emotle

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Emotle?

Emotle is a daily word puzzle where you translate a series of emojis into a specific word or phrase. Think of it as a rebus puzzle for the mobile era!

When is a new Emotle released?

A fresh puzzle is available every day at midnight based on your local time zone. If you've finished today's, check back tomorrow!

Why did my streak reset?

Streaks and game history are stored locally in your browser's "Local Storage." This means if you clear your browser data, use "Incognito" or "Private" mode, or switch to a different device or browser, your progress won't follow you. We recommend playing on the same device and browser to keep your streak alive.

Are the answers always single words?

For now, yes. Most daily puzzles are single words of varying lengths. However, we're exploring multi-word phrases for special events and future updates!

Can I play past puzzles?

Absolutely! You can visit the Archive to see previous daily puzzles or jump into Practice Mode to sharpen your emoji-decoding skills with random challenges.

How is the "Daily Phrase" chosen?

Our team meticulously selects phrases that are common enough to be guessable but tricky enough to be a challenge. We look for emojis that have distinct meanings but can also work together to tell a subtle story.

Can I suggest an emoji phrase?

Yes! We love community input. Visit our Submit a Phrase page to send us your creative ideas. If we use your idea, we might even give you a shoutout!

Is there a mobile app?

Currently, Emotle is a Progressive Web App (PWA). You can "Add to Home Screen" on both iOS and Android for an app-like experience without needing to visit an app store.

How do the colors work?

After each guess, the tile colors shift: Blue means the letter is correct and in the right spot. Pink means the letter is in the word but in a different spot. Grey means the letter isn't in the word at all.

Is Emotle free to play?

Yes, Emotle is completely free and supported by a small number of non-intrusive ads. Our goal is to keep the game accessible to everyone.

Why can't I type with my keyboard?

Emotle supports both the on-screen keyboard and physical keyboard input. If your physical keyboard isn't responding, try clicking inside the game area once to ensure the game has "focus."
