FLAMES = Friends, Love, Affection, Marriage, Enemies, Siblings. Cross out common letters, count what is left and use that number to strike letters of FLAMES one by one. Just for fun — not a scientific or professional assessment.
| Step | Letters left |
|---|---|
| Count 8 → strike L | F A M E S |
| Count 8 → strike E | F A M S |
| Count 8 → strike M | F A S |
| Count 8 → strike F | A S |
| Count 8 → strike S | A |
FLAMES is the much-loved school game for finding out what two people will be: F = Friends, L = Love (lovers), A = Affection, M = Marriage, E = Enemies, S = Siblings.
Write both names, cross out the letters they share (one for one), and count the letters left. Then count round the word FLAMES by that number, crossing out the letter you land on, and carry on from the next letter until only one is left. This calculator does it for you and shows every step.

Try this example →Cross out common letters in the two names, count the remaining letters, then use that count to strike letters from F-L-A-M-E-S in a circle until one remains.
Friends, Love, Affection, Marriage, Enemies and Siblings. Some people play L as Lovers and A as Admirers.
Either works, but you'll get different results. Most people play with first names.
No — it's for fun and entertainment. Love is built by two people through kindness, trust and effort, not by names, numbers or stars. Enjoy it, share it, and don't make big decisions on it.
