FLAMES — Frequently Asked Questions
Each question is answered directly below. Expand any item for the full response.
What is the FLAMES game?
FLAMES is a classic schoolyard relationship game. You write two names, cross out common letters, count what's left, then eliminate the letters F-L-A-M-E-S in a circle until one remains — that letter is your result.
What does each FLAMES letter mean?
F = Friends, L = Lovers, A = Affectionate, M = Marriage, E = Enemies, S = Siblings. It's an acronym for the six possible outcomes.
Is FLAMES accurate for real relationships?
No — FLAMES is 100% for fun and entertainment. Real relationships depend on communication, trust, and compatibility, not letter counting.
Will I get the same result every time?
Yes. The algorithm is deterministic — the same two names always produce the same FLAMES letter.
What if all letters cancel out?
When every letter matches and nothing remains, we use the classic fallback count so the game can still finish with a result.
Disclaimer
- FLAMES is a classic school game for fun and nostalgia — not science, psychology, or relationship advice.
- Your result comes from crossing out matching letters in two names. It is entertainment only, not a real compatibility test.
- The same two names always give the same outcome, but treat it lightly — enjoy the game with friends!
