FLAMES: the classic school game
Every Indian school kid has played it in the back of a notebook — two names, a lot of crossing out, and a giggle at the result. This FLAMES calculator plays the game for you and, unlike a quick result, shows every step: the common letters struck off, the count, and each round of counting around F-L-A-M-E-S until one letter is left. Perfect for settling arguments about whether you did it right!
How to play
- Type two names (first names are the classic way).
- Tap Play FLAMES and watch each step.
- Share the result with your friends — if you dare.
Worked example
RAHUL and PRIYA: the shared letters R and A are crossed out of both names, leaving H, U, L and P, I, Y — 6 letters. Counting 6 around F-L-A-M-E-S lands on S, so S goes. Counting 6 again from the next letter strikes F, then A, then L, then E — leaving M for Marriage 💍.
| Letter | Meaning |
|---|---|
| F | Friends 🤝 |
| L | Lovers ❤️ |
| A | Affection 🥰 |
| M | Marriage 💍 |
| E | Enemies 😤 |
| S | Siblings 👫 |
