Just two names. Let FLAMES do the rest.
The game everyone played on the back page of a school notebook, rebuilt as a small, fast app. No feed, no waiting — an answer the moment you tap Play.
Same old game. Same old rules.
Nothing here is invented. FLAMES works exactly the way it always did — the app just does the crossing-out for you.
Type two names
Yours and theirs. Spaces, capitals and punctuation don't matter — only the letters do.
Shared letters cancel
Every letter the two names have in common is struck off both sides, one for one.
Count around the word
Whatever is left over counts around F-L-A-M-E-S, striking out a letter each pass until one survives.
Six ways it can land
One letter is left standing at the end. It is always one of these.
A screen and a half
There is no second tab. That is the point.



Your names never leave your phone.
FLAMES works out every result on your device. The names you type stay in the app's memory while you play and are gone the moment you close it. No analytics, no ads — the only thing we keep is the mobile number your subscription runs on.
