The classic love calculator

Two names in, the old playground paper game out. Delightful, and definitely not science.

How it works

This is the paper game, played honestly: write both names, count how many times each letter of L-O-V-E-S appears across them, write the five counts in a row, then keep adding neighbouring digits until only two remain. That number is your percentage. No secret formula, no server-side mood: the working is shown right under your score, and the breakdown counts every letter for you.

Because it is pure counting, the game is deterministic: the same two names get the same score today, tomorrow and in any order. Your names never leave the page.

An honest word, in case it needs saying: this measures nothing except how the letters fall, which is exactly what makes it fun. Playground tradition says otherwise, and who are we to argue with the playground.
