How to play
A love calculator turns two names into a percentage, just for fun. This one runs the letters of both names through a fixed formula, so the number has nothing to do with the real people. Type the same pair again, even the other way round, and you'll see the same number.
- Pick a test: Love, Crush or Friendship.
- Type your name in the first box and the other person's name in the second.
- Press the button, or hit Enter.
- Check your percentage on the meter, plus the one-line verdict under it.
- Switch tests to see the same two names scored another way.
Controls
- Love, Crush and Friendship: three tests, each with its own score for the same pair.
- Your name, then a second box labeled Their name, Your crush or Your best friend, depending on the test.
- Calculate love, Test my crush or Test our friendship shows the score, a meter and a reading.
- Start a new life in any city on Earth, free in LifeSim opens LifeSim in a new tab.
Tips
- Before you compare scores, agree on first names only or full names. Extra letters change the result.
- Capital letters, spaces and accents are ignored, so typing a name a little differently in those ways won't move the number.
- Make it a party game: everyone guesses the score for two friends' names, then you press the button and the closest guess wins.
- Only type the names of friends who are in on the joke, and laugh off a low score. It comes from letters, not feelings.
FAQ
Does the love calculator actually work?
Not at all, it's just for fun. A fixed formula looks only at the letters you typed, so the number says nothing about real feelings.
Why doesn't the score change when I try again?
There's no randomness in it: the formula always gives the same answer for the same pair, in either order. For a new number, try a nickname, include a surname or pick another test.
Can I play it at school or on a Chromebook?
It needs no download, no install and no account, so it runs in a browser tab on a Chromebook. Your school's network still has the final say on what loads, and only its IT team can lift a block.
