Quick tips

Think tone, not picture. 🙃 is a smile turned upside down: usually irony, not happiness.
Context changes it. 😭 can mean real tears or laughing too hard. The game asks for the most common reading.
Look at the eyes and mouth. Peeking eyes, a grimace or a hand over the mouth carry most of the meaning.
Learn the slang ones. 💀, 🐐 and 🧢 come from online slang: "I'm dead", greatest of all time, and "cap" for a lie.
Keep the streak. A wrong answer costs 2 seconds and your multiplier.
