I think you all need to check out the preferred format outlined in the OP. :slightly_smiling_face:

I believe it should be:

Film/book/song/etc represented in emoji

I think it might actually work better the way people started to do it naturally. I knew it might take a little to figure out the best way to do it.

@Ian_Chimp @Blonde_Bunny @WillC @Delboy1991 what do you think? Easier to just guess then give your new one??

PS loving the entries so far!!

PPS thanks Ian, I’m a little slow I responding as my phone keeps crashing!!

Edit just for clarity: we’ve gone back to the original rules

Probably best to blur the answer and just like if you get it right, and if you get it right post a new one?

I sort of envisaged it as something like the new Joke Topic. Like a rolling feed of Emoji puzzles. :slightly_smiling_face::+1:
