Failure
Found: Frida plus Diego = Dida Fridiego Friego
Expected: Frida plus Diego = Fridiego Friego

Question : why not Dida ? beginning of “DIego” with the end of “frIDA” with only 1 common letter. There is also 1 common letter in Fridiego and Friedo.

Dida would be a great Couple Name, but it violates the minimum length rule :slight_smile:

OK I missed this rule, thank you.

thx and for finish

Ben and Jennifer
Why not : Jen

Jen is not Ben and not Jennifer

Rule ?!
Cannot be the same as either of the individual names because that’s just silly

Thanks for playing my puzzle :slight_smile:

Ben plus Jennifer could be “Bennifer”: That has 2-overlapping letters (“en” from Ben and “en” from ennifer).
So per rule “Only Max Overlapping” we will NOT include any other options where there are less than 2 overlapping letters.

For Ben plus Jennifer to equal Jen (and have 2 over-lapping lettters), you would have to take the first part of Jennifer (Jen) and smoosh it with the last part of Ben (en). (The 2 over-lapping letters are “en”).
That is not acceptable since it violates the “Must contain at least one letter from each person, that isn’t part of the overlapping-letter(s).” rule. Ben’s entire contribution would be just the overlapping letters (“en”). (Poor Ben)

Only Max Overlapping:
➤ Include only Couple-Names with the most overlapping-letters possible. For example, if there is a Couple-Name that has 2 overlapping-letters, don’t show others that have less than 2 overlapping-letters.
