Fortune in Your Name
Enter your name — the cosmos will test its fate.
If the universe matches it faster than theory predicts,
it smiles upon you today.
What this game is
Fortune in Your Name is a small interactive demo of conditional probability. Pick a name, and the page generates random strings from the matching alphabet — Latin (26 letters) or Cyrillic (33 letters) — until one of them happens to spell your name letter for letter. The number of attempts you see is how patient the universe needs to be.
