Emojis. Emoticons. Smileys. They go by various names and have literally changed the way the world communicates. So much so that we can’t even imagine texting without our favourite emojis. Which is probably why, every once in a while, new ones are added to our keyboards. Recently, the period emoji, the pinching hand emoji and the autorickshaw emoji made waves on the internet.
In case anyone had any doubts about the impact emojis have made in our lives, they’ll disappear when we tell you that today (July 17th) is officially marked as #WorldEmojiDay.
When Words are not enough, came the Emoji

Jeremy Burge, the founder of Emojipedia is credited with first coming up with the idea in 2014. And the reason he chose this particular date is because of the fact that the calendar emoji on iOS displays 17 July! The website states that this day is a celebration of emojis and how they spread positivity around the world. Isn’t that wonderful?
Twitter is celebrating #WorldEmojiDay in its own unique way. By playing LIT guessing games of course! These fun puzzles have questions in the form of emoticons and people have to figure out what they mean. Here are some of the best ones. Can you solve them all?
It's an easy one or is it? 😉
