Score bands

Your final score places you in one of these bands.

Emoji Newbie0-3 correct

You use emojis purely on vibes and had no idea they had real names. That's fine — most people are in the same boat. At least now you can pretend you always knew.

Emoji Pro4-6 correct

Your instincts are decent and you probably guessed a few right. But the emoji world is wilder than you think — one of them is literally called Pile of Poo.

Emoji Expert7-8 correct

You know your emojis better than almost anyone. When friends argue about what an emoji means, they come to you. Screenshot this and flex in the group chat.

Emoji Oracle9-10 correct

You're not normal. You've either read the Unicode specification for fun, or you're the person who named these things. Either way, respect.
