How FLAMES works
FLAMES is the classic playground name game. The letters the two names share are cancelled out, and the number of letters left over is counted off around the six outcomes, Friends, Lovers, Affectionate, Marriage, Enemies, Siblings, removing one each time until a single result remains.
It’s a bit of fun, not a prediction. The order of the names doesn’t change the answer, and everything is worked out in your browser.
What this does
A name compatibility calculator plays the classic FLAMES game (Friends, Lovers, Affectionate, Marriage, Enemies or Siblings) by cancelling the letters two names share.
How to use it
- Type the first name.
- Type the second name.
- Read your FLAMES outcome.
- Swap in other names to play again.
How it works
The letters the two names share are cancelled out, and the remaining count is tallied around the six FLAMES outcomes until one is left. Swapping the names gives the same result.
count = letters left after cancelling shared letters
Understanding your result
FLAMES is a playground game, not a forecast: it cancels shared letters and lands on one of six labels, so swapping the names gives the same answer and the people themselves are never considered. Take the result in the spirit it is meant, as a bit of fun rather than any kind of relationship advice.
Example
After cancelling shared letters, a remainder of 3 lands on “A”, Affectionate.
