Love Calculator

How it works

Type two names and the match score appears as you type. The score is worked out from the letters alone: both names are lower-cased, accents and spaces are stripped, the pair is sorted alphabetically so Romeo & Juliet and Juliet & Romeo always agree, and that string is run through the FNV-1a 32-bit hash. The hash is mapped onto 1–100 with (hash mod 100) + 1. It is deterministic, so the same two names always give the same number — no dice rolls, no random surprises on reload.

Underneath you also get the classic playground game FLAMES (Friends, Love, Affection, Marriage, Enemies, Siblings). Matching letters in the two names cancel each other out one for one, the leftover letters are counted, and that count is used to eliminate letters around the word FLAMES over and over until one is left. Shivam and Shreya, the textbook example, leave 6 letters and land on Marriage. If the names cancel out completely there is nothing left to count, so no FLAMES letter is shown.

This is a party trick, not science — treat the number as a conversation starter and nothing else. Everything runs in JavaScript in your browser: no names are sent anywhere, there is no sign-up and there are no ads. Copy the result or download it as a text file.
