Love Calculator
Cancelling matching letters…
0 letters remain
These two names cancel out completely — try adding a middle name or nickname to get a result.
This is the classic FLAMES party game (Friends, Lovers, Affection, Marriage, Enemies, Siblings) — not a real prediction. It works by cancelling matching letters between the two names, then counting out the remaining letters against F-L-A-M-E-S, the same way it's been played on paper for decades. For fun only.
Free love calculator using the classic FLAMES party game — watch the letters cancel out and the result get counted out live, then download a certificate with a QR code.
How it works
- Enter two names and tap Start
- Watch matching letters cancel out one pair at a time, then F-L-A-M-E-S get counted out live until one result remains
- Download a certificate of the result — with a serial number, an OllTools stamp, and a QR code back to this page
Frequently asked questions
Is this scientifically accurate?
No — this is the classic FLAMES paper game people have played for decades, reproduced exactly as an algorithm, purely for fun. It's not a real prediction about any relationship.
What does each result mean?
F = Friends, L = Lovers, A = Affection, M = Marriage, E = Enemies, S = Siblings — the traditional six outcomes of the FLAMES game.
What's on the certificate?
Both names, the result, how many letters remained after cancellation, a serial number, today's date, an OllTools stamp, and a QR code that leads back to this calculator — all rendered as a downloadable PNG, for entertainment purposes only.
Can I turn off the sound?
Yes — tap the speaker icon in the top-right corner of the calculator. It's a synthesized retro sound effect for each stage (cancelling, counting, and the final result), muted with one tap, and your preference is remembered.

Update history
- 2026-09-02 Fixed the "spinning" effect during the F-L-A-M-E-S countdown: it used to rotate a wide gradient across the entire row, which read as an odd stretched bar — now a small circular ring spins behind just the currently-highlighted letter, like a proper mini roulette wheel.
- 2026-09-02 Reverted the name-letter tiles to their original plain entrance (removed a staggered pop-in that user feedback said was less fun to watch), added a second sound cue — a "spotlight" blip when a matching pair is highlighted, just before the cancel swipe — and raised the volume on every Love Calculator sound effect.
- 2026-09-02 Added retro synthesized sound effects (a distinct tone for each stage: letter cancellation, a rising roulette-style tick while counting out F-L-A-M-E-S, an elimination thud, and one of six mood-matched result stings), a mutable sound toggle top-right of the widget, a spinning "raffle wheel" glow during each counting round, and slower, more theatrical pacing throughout.
- 2026-09-02 Added a full animated reveal (letters cancel out one pair at a time, then F-L-A-M-E-S get counted out live, ending in a confetti burst) and a downloadable certificate with a serial number, an OllTools stamp, and a QR code back to the page.
- 2026-09-02 Launched: love calculator using the classic FLAMES algorithm, worked out transparently rather than a hidden percentage. Entirely client-side.
