How the love calculator works

This is the pen-and-paper love test many people played at school. Write both names with the word LOVES between them, count how often each letter of LOVES appears, then keep adding the numbers in pairs until two digits are left. Those two digits are your love percentage.

Example: Anna + Tom

“ANNA LOVES TOM” contains L once, O twice, V once, E once and S once: 1 2 1 1 1.

  • Add the outer pairs, working inwards: 1+1 = 2, 2+1 = 3, and the middle 1 stays → 2 3 1.
  • Again: 2+1 = 3, and the middle 3 stays → 3 3.

Anna and Tom score 33%. When a sum has two digits (say 12), it counts as two numbers, 1 and 2.

Same names, same result

There is no random number: the result depends only on the letters. Accents are ignored (É counts as E, Ł as L), and the order of the names does not matter. Try nicknames or full names – the percentage changes, which is part of the fun.

Just for fun

A love calculator cannot measure feelings, of course. Real compatibility comes from shared values, communication and how you treat each other – no two-digit number can tell you that.

Frequently asked questions

Is the love calculator accurate?

No – it is a game. It counts letters, so it says nothing about real compatibility.

Why do I always get the same result?

The method is a fixed letter count, so the same two names always give the same percentage.

Does the order of the names matter?

No. Swapping the names gives the same letter counts and the same result.
