Love Tester: the Love Test Game

The Love Tester is a browser love test Game: two names go in, a percentage comes out from a fixed formula, and the result says nothing about a real relationship.

What is the Love Tester?

The Love Tester on LoveCalculator.love is a free browser game that turns two names into one percentage and shows it on a meter.

It is a love test you play online, with nothing to install and no account. People also call it a love tester game or an online love test. It belongs to the same family as every compatibility test on this site, and it is the most playful way here to put a number on love compatibility. It also wears the Game label more loudly than anything else we run.

Many sites carry a game with this name. Each one runs its own formula or a random draw, so the number you get elsewhere differs from ours. Two names go in here, and a round shows how.

How to play the Love Tester

To play the Love Tester, follow these four steps.

1. Type the first name in the top box and the second name in the box under it.
2. Press "Test it".
3. Watch the meter stop on your percentage.
4. Read your band under the number, then share the card or play again with different names.

First names and full names both work. Replay is instant, and the boxes keep what you typed. The names stay in your browser and are never sent anywhere. A round takes about as long as reading this sentence, and it is roughly as scientific. Every round ends on a percentage, and the percentage is what people ask about next.

What your Love Tester result means

Your Love Tester percentage is your score, and it lands in one of five bands. Each band means something in the game and nothing outside it. There is no right answer to find; there is the number your two names make. Every whole number from 0 to 100 is a possible result, so there are 101 of them.

• 90 to 100Screenshot territoryScreenshot this, frame it, and remember it came from a name game. Share it anyway.This formula tops out at 99.
• 70 to 89PromisingPromising, says the formula. The formula has excellent taste in letters and no idea about people. Your zodiac match might have more to say.
• 50 to 69Could go either wayCould go either way. So could most things. Full names sometimes move it; your birth charts might say more.
• 30 to 49The formula has doubtsOur very serious algorithm has doubts. Our very serious algorithm has never met either of you and is working from letters.
• 0 to 29Beat probabilityThe algorithm says no. We are sure you can beat probability. Try full names, or try another method.

From the top band down, here is what it means in the game and what it does not mean.

• The top band means the hash of your two names landed near the top of the scale. It does not mean you two are a sure thing.
• The second band means a high remainder and nothing more. It does not mean the other person feels the same.
• The middle band means the middle of the scale. It does not mean anything is undecided between you.
• The fourth band means a low remainder. It does not mean you are a bad match.
• The bottom band means the hash came out near the bottom. It does not mean anything about you or about them.

A low number means the hash of your two names came out low, and that is all it means. The formula has never met either of you. The game can't find real love, and it says so on every screen.

We calculate the Love Tester percentage in three steps: input, formula, output.

1. Both names are tidied the same way: accents fold to their base letter, everything becomes a capital, and anything that is not a letter from A to Z is dropped.
2. The two names are put in alphabetical order and joined with a bar between them, so the order you type them in does not matter.
3. A small fixed hash (FNV-1a, 32 bit) runs over those letters. It looks random and it is not.
4. The remainder of the hash divided by 101 is the reading, from 0 to 100. The needle moves over a number that was worked out first.

A hash has no meaning: it turns any text into one very large whole number, and the same text always gives the same number. The result looks random and it isn't. Nothing is drawn, so the same two names get the same percentage today and next year, in either order. The meter is only the reveal, because the number is fixed before the meter moves, wherever you play it.

Is the Love Tester unblocked?

The Love Tester is an ordinary web page, so it is unblocked wherever this site loads. You play the Love Tester online, in a normal browser tab, and three facts about the build explain why.

• It runs in your browser, like any other page.
• It has nothing to download or install, and no account or email.
• It keeps the names on your device and never sends them anywhere.

A school or a workplace decides what its own network opens. We can't change that, and we wouldn't try. Once the page loads, the only thing left to do is type names.

Can you play the Love Tester with names?

Yes. Two names are the only thing the Love Tester takes. First names and full names both work, and a full name gives a different percentage because the text changed, not the people. "Mary Ann" and "Maryann" get the same result, because spaces are ignored. Names in other alphabets need their Latin spelling.

Three name games on this site give three different numbers for the same two names. The Love Calculator on our home page counts the letters of TRUE and LOVE, the name compatibility test turns letters into numbers from 1 to 9, and the Love Tester hashes the whole pair. You can check it: the same two names always get the same number.

Other names for the Love Tester: love test, love checker, the TikTok love test

People reach this game under a few names.

Love test is the short name, and free love test is the same game with the price in front.

A love checker is any novelty gadget that returns a love verdict from names or taps. Ours is this game, and the wider family has its own page on the love checker.

The viral love tests going round on TikTok are mostly paper name games and filters. The full treatment is in the TikTok compatibility test.

What can you play after the Love Tester?

After the Love Tester, three more Games on this site take a name or two.

• The Love Calculator by LoveCalculator.love counts the letters of TRUE and LOVE in two names, the way the paper true love test does.
• The FLAMES Calculator ends on a letter, not a number.
• The Crush Calculator is one-sided on purpose.

Whether any of them can be trusted with a real match is a separate question, and it has its own explainer.
