The only .com domain on the site is `extra-small.com`. How is that a one word domain? Maybe two words count as one if they're extra small.
hyphenated words still count as words in most definitions of words, even if it does seem contradictory in this context.
They claim there's still an English word (an adjective) that's available as a .com domain but apparently it's not possible to see what it is from their site. I remember back in ’99 seeing a list of English words that were still available as .com It was short enough to read at a sitting and I was going through it looking for potential band names. The only one I remember was “osteoclasts.” Unfortunately, we didn’t have…
As of right now napalming.com is available, autocratically.com, cauterizes.com, peronist.com, pickaninnies.com, and doubtless many more. Most one-word .COMs are weird/obscure, related to negative things or end in S, so not much use for a business. Fornicates.com was available recently though, as was goriest.com, both of which are not bad for less mainstream sites. Outside .COM there are tons of one word domains. imag…
The registry may decide whether a domain is "premium" or not, but I had no issues transferring it to Google Domains and paying less than what I was paying before.
I love how "extra-small.com" is the only .com domain left - only goes to show how scarce .com domains are these days :/

On one hand they give amazing suggestions and prove useful to small scale devs like me and others coming here.
On the other hand, a few weeks from now most of them will be snatched by squatters, essentially rendering them useless for small scale devs like me and others coming here.
I think you should totally track the .it TLD, it's the Italian one but works wonderfully for word plays in English (and if iirc I've seen a few websites taking advantage of it). Some straightforward examples that come to mind would be buy.it, ship.it, design.it etc., you name(.)it ;) Edit: also, being the Italian TLD I'm guessing quite a few English words are still available
Those are letters, not alphabets.

Be careful with namecheap. I used to use them for everything (and still have several domains registered with them), but one of my domains was a short word on an obscure TLD. This year they increased the price by 15x, and support tried to pass the blame by claiming "the registry decided it's a premium domain." The registry may decide whether a domain is "premium" or not, but I had no issues transferring it to Google D…

It may not be worth it for one or two names but transferring domains is easy (and can be done even when expired) and it can make sense to move to another registrar to save money - transfer prices are often lower than renewal prices - or if the current registrar starts to be a dick.
I've never used Godaddy, which often had 99c/$1 coupons, but noticed on tld-list.com that their .COM renewal price is $18.17. Not sure what people are getting for paying twice as much as everywhere else.
