How it works

FLAMES is a playground classic. Each letter of the word stands for a kind of bond: Friends, Lovers, Affection, Marriage, Enemies and Siblings.

  1. Write both names and cross out every letter they share, one pair at a time. An A in one name cancels one A in the other.
  2. Count the letters that are left in both names.
  3. Count that many steps along F-L-A-M-E-S, starting at F, and cross out the letter you land on.
  4. Keep counting from the next letter, looping back to the start, until only one letter is left. That letter is your answer.

Spaces, accents and capital letters are ignored, so the same two names always give the same answer. For a score instead of a word, try the Love Calculator.
