About this tool
FLAMES is the pen-and-paper game half of India played in school. Write both names, cross out every letter they share (one for one, so two a's in one name cancel two a's in the other), and count the letters left. Then count that many steps round the word F-L-A-M-E-S, strike out the letter you land on, and carry on counting from the next one until a single letter is left: Friends, Love, Affection, Marriage, Enemies or Siblings.
This calculator follows exactly those rules, so it matches what you would get on paper, and it shows the count and the struck-out letters. Capital letters and spaces don't matter, and names in Hindi or any other script work too. If the two names use exactly the same letters nothing is left to count, so it asks you to add a surname.
It is a game, not a prediction. The result card comes in Story and post sizes with five colour themes, and it is drawn on your device; the names are never uploaded.
हिंदी में मदद
स्कूल वाला FLAMES गेम: दोनों नाम लिखें, जो अक्षर दोनों में हैं उन्हें काटें, बचे अक्षर गिनें और उतनी गिनती से F-L-A-M-E-S में से एक-एक अक्षर काटते जाएँ। आख़िरी बचा अक्षर बताता है: फ्रेंड्स, लव, अफ़ेक्शन, मैरिज, एनिमीज़ या सिब्लिंग्स। यह सिर्फ़ मज़े के लिए है।
Questions
What does FLAMES stand for?
Friends, Love, Affection, Marriage, Enemies and Siblings. Some people use Sister for S; it means the same thing.
Why did I get a different answer on paper?
The usual slip is crossing out letters wrongly. Shared letters cancel one for one: two e's in one name only cancel two e's in the other, not every e.
Does the order of names change the result?
No. Crossing out shared letters gives the same count either way, so the result is the same.
Are the names saved anywhere?
No. The game runs in your browser and the names never leave your device.
