Emoji Quiz With Answers: 15 Rounds to Test Yourself

Want to know how good your emoji knowledge really is? Here’s a 15-question emoji quiz with answers, split into three rounds: official names, real meanings, and emoji phrases. Cover the answers, keep score, and be honest — 🫵 I’m watching.

Round 1: What’s the official name?

  1. 😤
  2. 🥺
  3. 🗿
  4. 🧿
  5. 😮‍💨

Answers:

  1. Face with Steam From Nose — not “angry face.”
  2. Pleading Face — the begging eyes.
  3. Moai — the Easter Island statue.
  4. Nazar Amulet — the charm against the evil eye.
  5. Face Exhaling — one of the newer ZWJ-sequence faces.

Score one point per correct name. These matter beyond trivia: the iPhone emoji keyboard searches by name, so knowing “nazar” gets you 🧿 in one second flat.

Round 2: What does it actually mean?

  1. 💀 in a reply to a joke
  2. 🙃 after “great, another Monday meeting”
  3. ✨ around a word, like ✨networking✨
  4. 💅 at the end of a sentence
  5. 🙏

Answers:

  1. “I’m dead” — extreme laughter. Almost never literal death.
  2. Sarcasm / suppressed despair. The smile is upside down for a reason.
  3. Ironic emphasis. The sparkles are doing air quotes.
  4. Unbothered confidence. Nail-painting nonchalance.
  5. Please or thank you. Folded hands — and no, it’s not a high five.

Round 3: Decode the emoji phrase

  1. 🐘🏠 (2 words)
  2. 🧠⛈️ (1 word)
  3. 🍳🥚😄 (a compliment)
  4. ⏰🐦 (an idiom about early risers)
  5. 🧊🔨 (2 words, what you do at an awkward party)

Answers:

  1. Elephant in the room
  2. Brainstorm
  3. A good egg
  4. The early bird (catches the worm)
  5. Break the ice

How did you score?

  • 12–15: Certified emoji nerd. You probably know 🫠 arrived in 2021.
  • 7–11: Solid — you know the classics but the newer and obscure ones slip past you.
  • 0–6: You’ve been sending 😤 as “angry,” haven’t you? Start with my guide to emoji meanings explained.

One quiz tells you where you stand. It doesn’t make you better — for that you need repetition, fresh questions, and a reason to come back tomorrow. That’s the difference between a quiz and training.
