The FLAMES Game

Affection in the FLAMES name game: what A means

A stands for Affection. Warm, caring, a soft spot for each other, without it being a romance. In Hindi: स्नेह: एक-दूसरे के लिए अपनापन और परवाह, पर ज़रूरी नहीं कि प्यार हो। This is a schoolyard game for fun, not a prediction about anyone. Try Rahul and Pooja: after the shared letters are struck out, 8 letters are left, and counting around F-L-A-M-E-S removes L, E, M, F, S in that order, leaving A.
