# affix-domains **Affix** a seed word with common brand prefixes and suffixes, check each candidate live against the authoritative registry, and prompt the user to register the free ones. ## Steps 1. **Gate on the bare seed's `.com`.** Before generating anything, check `<seed>.com` alone. It decides the scope of everything below: - **Free** → the seed itself is winnable. Say so up front, then run the affix sweep on **`.com` only** — the original contract. Nothing else is needed. - **Taken** → escalate. Every check from here on runs across the **full TLD set**: `.com .net .org .ai .io .co .app .cc`. Also sweep the **bare seed** across the other seven — `mate.ai` is worth more than `matebuddy.com`, and it costs eight lookups to find out. 2. **Generate candidates.** For seed `W`, produce `W` + each suffix and each prefix + `W` from the catalog below. Lowercase. Dedupe. Always drop triple-letter runs (`mateee`) and a suffix that repeats the seed (`matemate`). The English-word filter is **mode-dependent**: in `.com`-only mode, drop any combination that spells an existing English word (e.g. `getup`, `openbox`) — its `.com` is almost certainly taken and burns a lookup. In **escalated mode, keep them** — that rationale is `.com`-specific, and a real word gone in `.com` says nothing about `.ai` or `.cc`. (`mately` is a dictionary adverb *and* the flagship `-ly` SaaS pattern; it is free in six TLDs.) If the user hints a style (playful, techy, marketplace…), weight the ma
