Hey HN,

Over the weekend, I built Dictionary Domains to make it super easy to find unregistered {word}.{tld} domains for your next project.

There's some pretty great tools out there that help find domains: I really like Lean Domain Search and back in the day I used Bust A Name a ton. But really, I'm a huge fan of simple verb/noun/adjective domains. I'd happily compromise on the .com extension to get something clean and meaningful.

Here's some of my favorites from the site:

kaput.io proud.cc jud.ge measly.co quaint.io punch.cc closed.cc bubble.io stran.ge chilly.io rainy.io dama.ge puny.io quicke.st

Hopefully you find it helpful!




Hey, nice site. I actually built a very similar tool a few months ago:

I don't know if I should hate you or love you. I got an awesome domain even though I had decided last year that I will never buy a domain ever again.

Great project, well done.


Pretty nice. A suggestion though: it would be nice to be able to search by synonyms or definition rather than just exact words. That way if you know you're searching for something to do with eg. "mail", you'd get a set of words that are (at least tangentially) related to it that you can choose from.


This is an awesome, simple idea. There's something to be said about simplicity. I wish I had an idea like that!


I love it! I registered one of the domains with Namecheap for 5 years. Hope you get some commission from it.


What domains did you buy before publicizing this?


A great idea. I bought three.

Also, thanks for not using GoDaddy. It's one of the reasons I decided to make some buys.
