SUNDAY PUZZLE — Today’s puzzle is unique and charming — a debut, with a nice back story. I forgot that the “emo” in “emoji” referred to emotion, which gives them psychological implications — and helps explain why they’re so addictive. Brian Kulman’s grid today assigns emoji informative roles to make a game of charades. The app should work for everyone, as long as it is up-to-date, and the web puzzle includes all emojis as well. If anyone hits an unanticipated bump in the emoji road, please let me know in the comments and I will try to expedite a solution.
