What is FLAMES?
FLAMES is a popular compatibility test game that originated in the 1990s. The acronym stands for:
- F – Friendship
- L – Love
- A – Affection
- M – Marriage
- E – Enemy
- S – Siblings
This game is a fun way to predict the relationship between two people based on their names. While not scientifically valid, it has been a popular pastime across different cultures for generations.
How FLAMES Works
- Write down two full names of different individuals
- Cross out the common letters in both names
- Count the number of remaining letters
- Apply this count to cycle through the letters in “FLAMES” until one letter remains
- The remaining letter determines the relationship prediction
