Is FLAMES based on astrology?

No — it's a classic letter-counting game, unrelated to Vedic astrology or numerology.

What happens if the two names are identical?

When every letter cancels out, there's nothing left to count — the calculator handles this as a special case rather than erroring.

Does the order of the two names matter?

No — the letter-cancellation step is symmetric, so swapping the two names gives the same result.

What does the FLAMES game say about two names?

The classic FLAMES game: enter two names, common letters are cancelled out, and the remaining letter count is used to count down through Friends, Lovers, Affectionate, Marriage, Enemies, Siblings until one relationship remains.

How FLAMES actually works

Every matching letter between the two names (one occurrence each) is struck out; the count of letters left over is used to count around the word F-L-A-M-E-S, eliminating one letter each pass, until a single word remains. It's a well-known playground game rendered as a quick digital version — nothing astrological about it.
