What FLAMES Means
The FLAMES game assigns a word to your relationship based on a simple letter-counting method. Each letter in FLAMES stands for a possible outcome. It's a quick and playful way to see your compatibility.
After counting the unique letters from both names, you use that number to cycle through the letters in F-L-A-M-E-S. The letter you land on reveals your playful relationship status.
FLAMES Meanings

| A | Affection | You have strong feelings for each other. |
| M | Marriage | A future together might be in the stars. |
| E | Enemies | You might not always see eye to eye. |
| S | Siblings | You have a family-like, platonic connection. |
Tips to Get More Out of It
Things Worth Knowing
- It is for fun, not science. Treat the result as a conversation starter rather than a verdict on your relationship.
- Try it more than once. Small changes to what you enter can lead to very different results, which is half the fun.
- Do it together. These work best side by side, not alone - compare answers and talk about why you picked what you picked.
- Save what you like. Copy anything that resonates and send it later, when it will land better.
