How this list was compiled: Own work: 60 picture puzzles written for this site on 16 October 2026, 15 in each of four rounds: clover, gold and lucky things; Irish dishes and green treats; the day itself; and sayings about luck, green and gold. Nothing was copied from another quiz or list. No answer is a brand, a film, a show, a song or a person, no alcoholic drink is named, and none repeats an answer or a row of the site's emoji quiz, its emoji charades list, its shower emoji games or its other holiday and season emoji quizzes. The facts in the explanations were read on 16 October 2026 in the English Wikipedia (text under CC BY-SA 4.0): Saint Patrick's Day (the date, the parades, the wearing of green and of shamrocks, the Chicago River dyed green, landmarks lit in green), Irish cuisine (soda bread, brown bread, Irish stew, bacon and cabbage, potato bread, smoked salmon, the Irish breakfast, and corned beef as the plate of the Irish in America), Boxty, Colcannon, Soda bread, Leprechaun, Leprechaun trap, Flag of Ireland, Jig, Irish stepdance, Tin whistle, Shamrock (a symbol of Ireland) and 7 (the number often held to be lucky). The 15 sayings of Round 4 each have an entry in the English Wiktionary, read the same day (text under CC BY-SA 4.0), one of them under the dictionary's form with one's (down on one's luck); the same dictionary has entries for four-leaf clover, pot of gold, rabbit's foot, lucky bamboo, wishing well, crock, full Irish and saint's day. Every emoji is a fully-qualified emoji of Emoji 12.0, checked against the Unicode Consortium's list (https://unicode.org/Public/emoji/12.0/emoji-test.txt), read on 16 October 2026.

Questions and answers
Does the St Patrick's Day emoji quiz have answers?
Yes. The moment you pick, the card marks the right answer and says how the pictures make it. Further down, the whole list of 60 rows sits beside its answers, and a key prints with the sheet.
Which St Patrick's Day emoji rows are the hardest?
The sound-alikes. A lying face and a guitar is sham and rock, a can and a face with pursed lips is a tin whistle, and a bowling strike beside gold is strike gold. Each round has five easy rows, six medium and four hard.
Is the St Patrick's Day emoji quiz suitable for kids?
Yes. The answers are clovers, rainbows, food, parades and old sayings, and none is about beer or a pub. A child who can read the choices can play Rounds 1 to 3. Round 4 is sayings, such as in clover, and suits older players.
Which emoji go with St Patrick's Day?
The shamrock and the four leaf clover, then the rainbow, the top hat and the green circle. Unicode's Emoji 12.0 list, which this quiz draws on, has no leprechaun, so Round 1 pairs a shamrock with a fairy.
