Crush-phase classic

Type two names. Choose FLAME or FLAMES.

Friends, Lovers, Affectionate, Marriage, Enemies, Siblings — just for fun.

How to play the FLAMES Game

  1. Type your name and your crush's name — nothing is saved or sent anywhere.
  2. Every letter that appears in both names is crossed out.
  3. Choose FLAME for five classic outcomes or FLAMES for the six-outcome version that adds Siblings.
  4. The remaining letters are counted, and that count strikes letters off your chosen word one by one.
  5. The last letter is your result: Friends, Lovers, Affectionate, Marriage, Enemies, and maybe Siblings.

FLAME and FLAMES are just-for-fun classics, not real compatibility readings. If the result makes you curious, our seven-question couples quiz is the honest next step — you guess each other's real answers instead of trusting the letters.
