Question 1

What is the FLAMES game?

Accepted Answer

FLAMES is a popular childhood game where two names are entered, common letters removed, and the remaining count used to eliminate letters from FLAMES until one remains — revealing the relationship type.

Question 2

How does the elimination work?

Accepted Answer

Starting from F, you count forward by the remainder and eliminate that letter. The process repeats until only one letter is left, which becomes your result.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

If stripping common letters gives zero, the names are identical — the tool shows a special 'same names' message.
