Two names · the school game · every step shown

FLAMES Calculator

Enter two names to play FLAMES: strike out the letters the names share, count the letters left, then count round F-L-A-M-E-S, crossing out the letter you land on, until one remains: Friends, Love, Affection, Marriage, Enemies or Siblings. It is a game, not a prediction; for a real reading, check compatibility by date of birth.

Enter two names

Full names or first names both work, but each gives its own answer. Spaces and capitals are ignored, and swapping the two names gives the same result.

Names are used to compute this result and are not saved. They are sent in the body of the request, never in the page address, and the page worked out from them is never cached or indexed.

Calculator facts

FLAMES, worked out for you

  • The classic rules: shared letters struck one for one
  • Every crossed-out letter and every round shown
  • A playground game, not astrology

Worked example: Rahul and Priya leave 6 letters, and FLAMES lands on M, Marriage.

Rahul: RAHUL
Priya: PRIYA

Step 1, strike the shared letters. The names share 2 letters (R, A), crossed out once in each name.

Step 2, count what is left. 3 in the first name (H, U, L) and 3 in the second (P, I, Y): 6.

Step 3, count 6 round FLAMES. Start at F, count 6 letters, cross out the one you land on, and start the next count from the letter after it.

One letter is left: M, Marriage. The one everyone hopes the count lands on.

How to Play FLAMES

  1. Write both names. Ignore spaces and capitals.
  2. Cross out the letters the names share, one for one: a letter used twice in one name and once in the other is crossed out once in each.
  3. Count the letters left in both names together.
  4. Write F-L-A-M-E-S. Count that many letters from F, going round to F again after S, and cross out the letter you land on.
  5. Start the next count on the letter after the one you crossed out, and repeat until one letter is left.

FLAMES vs Real Compatibility

FLAMES is a playground game: the result changes if you use a nickname or a surname, and it reads no chart. For a number with method behind it, the love calculator by name uses Chaldean name numbers; for astrology, compatibility by date of birth scores Guna Milan out of 36.

FLAMES Calculator FAQ

What does FLAMES stand for?

Friends, Love, Affection, Marriage, Enemies and Siblings. The letter left at the end of the game is the result.

How do you calculate FLAMES?

Cross out the letters two names share, one for one, and count the letters left. Count that many round the word FLAMES, cross out the letter you land on, start again from the next letter, and repeat until one letter is left.

Do spaces and capital letters count in FLAMES?

No. Only letters count, and capitals are the same as small letters.

What happens if every letter cancels?

Then nothing is left to count and the game has no answer. Try full names, or the names you call each other.

Does the order of the names matter in FLAMES?

No. The same letters cancel whichever name comes first, so the count and the result are the same.

Is FLAMES accurate?

It is a playground game, not a prediction: a nickname or a surname changes the answer. For astrology, check compatibility by date of birth.

What is the FLAMES result for 6 letters?

Marriage. Counting 6 round FLAMES crosses out S, F, A, L and E in that order, leaving M.
