- gamegoblin 13y agoThis is using the ~100K American English wordlist.

- jloughry 13y agoHere is the same list sorted by length: http://applied-math.org/words_sorted_by_length.txt http://applied-math.org/words_sorted_by_length.txt
- dalke 13y agoThe last on the list, counterrevolutionaries.com, seems like it could be a useful site for some. First, start with bios grabbed from Wikipedia, then use it to enhance your opposition of your political enemies. Cubadebate, for instance, could list twitterers as "necrophiliac counter-revolutionaries".
- jere 13y agoNice! Just a reminder of what's not here (and thus is registered): All but one of the English words in a 100k word list that is less than 6 characters long. Average English word length is about 5 characters. Kind of mind boggling.
- BorisMelnik 13y agocan't beleive "liviva" wasn't taken as a mispelling of "Libia"
- gamegoblin 13y agoThere are several good ones that I could see possible businesses wanting, such as "surfboarded"
- cproctor 13y agoNobody reads Joyce anymore.
- binarymax 13y agoGreat hack! Deeply trying to resist buying shlocky.com
- gamegoblin 13y agoWas looking for an excuse to play with Haskell threads, so I read in the dict, put it into groups of 500 words each, and then distributed each group to one of 200 threads to whois everything.
- shortformblog 13y agoBest one I saw in here was "pledges," which is screaming for a fraternity-run social network.
- shittyanalogy 13y agoDomain Name: PLEDGES.COM Updated Date: 19-feb-2014 Creation Date: 11-jan-2000 Expiration Date: 11-jan-2014 So it's probably in redemption
- adamboulanger 13y agoA music notation startup's field-day Multiple music terms: Decrescendoes, diminuendoes. What's your retention rate at decrescendoes? <add joke here>
- jaredsohn 13y agoIf you're creating music-related startups or software, you're probably better off getting a .fm domain, since it is easier to find good domains there and users are accustomed to it. Funny enough, I actually considered some of the terms you suggested (my software fades out music when you play a video) before I started thinking about .fm. The obvious problem with the terms you mentioned are that they are long, difficult to spell, and obscure to non-musicians.
- adamboulanger 13y agoNo .fm necessary for sextettes - the online dating site for music professionals.
- justizin 13y ago<same program returns empty list tomorrow>
- gamegoblin 13y agoI was planning on running it again tonight just for fun. There were 2024 to start with. We'll see what happens.
- kiliankoe 13y agoI'm curious, how many of them were snatched?
- joshu 13y agoThe vast majority of the good ones are taken, unfortunately. I am guessing he's not doing whois but instead looking at DNS records. I have a daily cron job that looks at available domains sorted by word popularity. The vast majority are in some status that makes them not show up in DNS but are registered. That said, I've been thinking of making some of the domain name tools I'm working on public...
- gamegoblin 13y agoI'm using a modification of https://gist.github.com/peterc/63893 https://gist.github.com/peterc/63893
- mappu 13y agoIf you're interested in doing more of this stuff, I recommend getting in touch with verisign - they can give you free FTP access to copies of the .com and .net root zonefiles.
- gamegoblin 13y agoNot really at all. This was just a 20 minute morning hack for fun. Thanks for the info, though.
- herokusaki 13y agoWhy are those not publicly available?
- ry0ohki 13y agoflimflammed.com is available, if you are looking to make an old-timey version of Snopes
- thom801 13y agoThese are some pretty shit domain names hehe. Here is everything with fewer than 8 chars. Lorded.com seems promising though. with open('domains.txt') as domains: for line in domains: if len(line) < 8: print line befogs cagily dourer drolly gusted livia lorded neglig scrods shirrs soughs tyroes unmans unsays vilyui
- addandsubtract 13y agoYou seem to be counting \0 as a char, or meant to find words less than 7 chars. Either way, there are just over 100 names available with 7 chars.
- adamcanady 13y agoProbably counting \n as a character since Python is pretty good about never dealing with \0's.
- bigtunacan 13y agoThese two would be good for specialized dating sites. homeliest.com - A dating site where ugly people meet other ugly people. outfoxes.com - Great name for a gay dating site.
- bigtunacan 13y agoSo I tried registering outfoxes.com. It was available and in my cart... I get to check out and it is no longer available, but is now "up for auction" by name.com. WTF?
- jbyers 13y agolivia.com would be the best of the bunch; whois shows it taken.

- mickeyp 13y agoWhat's interesting is how many of the words are "negative" or have negative connotations.
- e28eta 13y agoI'm struck by how many are pluralizations or modified in some other way (-ier, -est, ...)
- saimey 13y agotingliest.com - The 9GAG alternative the world has been so eagerly waiting for! tinglier.com - oh shoot!

- jedberg 13y agoHistogram of word length. Keep in mind that the median word length in English is 5: 5 1 # 6 14 ## 7 104 ########### 8 326 ################################# 9 414 ########################################## 10 380 ###################################### 11 320 ################################ 12 200 #################### 13 133 ############## 14 73 ######## 15 35 #### 16 12 ## 17 8 # 18 1 # 19 1 # 20 1 # 22 1 # edit: Someone points out below I had an off by one error, which I've now fixed.
- jloughry 13y agoSorting by length is an interesting programming problem; it can't be done by a regular expression. One way is to use a mask: % sed -e "s/./x/g" < original.txt > mask.txt % paste mask.txt original.txt | sort | cut -f 2 % rm mask.txt
- jedberg 13y agoI did this to make the above: sort /tmp/foo |awk '{ print length, $0 }'|sort -n|awk '{print $1}'|uniq -c|awk '{r="";i=s=$1/10;while(i-->0)r=r"#";printf "%15s %5d %s %s",$2,$1,r,"\n";}'
- binarymax 13y agoGolf time! in js: require('fs').readFileSync('list.txt').split('\n').sort(function(a,b){return b.length-a.length});
- gamegoblin 13y agoPython: sorted(open("list.text").readlines(),key=len) Haskell: (sortBy (comparing length).lines.readFile) "list.txt"
- jloughry 13y agoEliminate the temporary file: sed -e "s/./x/g" < list.txt | paste - list.txt | sort | cut -f 2
- drakaal 13y agosymmetricly isn't a correct spelling as far as I can tell. This was just one that jumped out at me, looks like others might have similar issues. Several of these were already registered for a long time, So I'm not sure how the check was done, but I did pick up UNSeats and UNsays, but I will likely use them as United Nations Says, not unsays which I don't think is something you can do.
- WoodenChair 13y agoWhy can't I find a clear explanation anywhere of when I'll be able to buy .app domains?
- bwooce 13y agoNew words for my vocabulary: congaed - past tense&participle of conga scrod - young cod/haddock/white fish split and boned. (also schrod, also available).
- shitlord 13y agoI wonder who will purchase urethrae.com. I thought fetish porn creators would have bought it by now.
