💗 How the Score Is Calculated A simple, transparent method you can do on paper.

Write both names in lowercase, no spaces. Count how many times each letter of the word L-O-V-E appears across both names combined. Write those four counts as digits in order (L, O, V, E). Add adjacent digit pairs repeatedly until two digits remain. That's your percentage. Example — Arjun & Meera.

Combined: arjunmeera L = 0, O = 0, V = 0, E = 2 → 0 0 0 2 Add adjacent: 0+0=0, 0+0=0, 0+2=2 → 0 0 2 → 0+0=0, 0+2=2 → 02 = 2% Low scores are common with this method, which is part of the joke. Many versions instead count all shared letters — try both and enjoy the argument. The vocabulary below is the real prize.
