How the FLAMES game actually works
Every matching letter shared between the two names is struck out, one pair at a time — just like crossing out letters on paper.
Whatever letters survive the cancellation are counted up into a single number.
Starting from F, we count around F-L-A-M-E-S using that number, eliminating one letter each lap around.
The last letter left standing is your result: Friends, Lovers, Affection, Marriage, Enemies, or Siblings.
What each FLAMES letter means
- F — Friends. A steady, easygoing bond built on trust rather than romance.
- L — Lovers. Real romantic chemistry — the spark people hope to land on.
- A — Affectionate. Warm, caring energy that hasn't quite become a full romance yet.
- M — Marriage. A long-haul match, the kind people build a future around.
- E — Enemies. Friction and clashing energy — better as a funny result than a forecast.
- S — Siblings. A close, family-like bond, protective rather than romantic.
Frequently asked questions
What does FLAMES stand for?

How is the FLAMES result calculated?
Common letters between both names are cancelled out one by one. The count of remaining letters is used to count around the letters F-L-A-M-E-S, removing one letter per lap, until a single letter remains as the result.
Is the Love Percentage calculator accurate?
It's built purely for fun and entertainment. It uses a playful name-based algorithm and isn't a scientific or psychological measure of real compatibility.
