Emoji Sudoku Rules
How to Play Emoji Sudoku
Emoji Sudoku uses the same logic as classic Sudoku, but the grid uses emojis instead of numbers. The goal is simple: fill every empty square without repeating emojis in any row, column, or 2×2 box.
Emoji Sudoku Rules
- 1. Pick an empty square. Tap or click an empty cell in the 4×4 grid.
- 2. Choose an emoji. Use the emoji picker below the puzzle to fill the selected square.
- 3. Complete each row. Every row must contain all four emojis exactly once.
- 4. Complete each column. Every column must also contain all four emojis exactly once.
- 5. Complete each 2×2 box. Each small box must contain every emoji once with no repeats.

Start by looking for rows, columns, or 2×2 boxes that already have several emojis filled in. If a row is missing only one emoji, that empty square is usually the easiest place to start.
