domain WordArcade.com

I got this domain on a drop (previously regged continuously from 2003-2015). I intend it for a development project, but wanted to get people's opinions as well. The idea is a website for word games/puzzles, etc. Although this doesn't necessarily mean the domain has any value, there are existing similar developed sites including TheWordArcade.com, WordGames.com, CharacterArcade.com, etc.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Hi Svede,

Word Arcade, for me as non native speaker, does not sound that great. It is definitely not bad name for nice page with scrabble type of games but I do not see it punchy and exciting as some other possible domains WordGames is obviously great domain, I found also Game of Word available or Word Mode (not sure if they are better then your domain . Maybe some nice brandable could work as well for such page.

Good luck

Thanks Martin! It might be more of an American English thing, but arcade is frequently used for game websites. Certainly not as good as WordGames.com though. Personally, I would find no value at all in "GameOfWord.com" or "WordMode.com" as they don't make much sense in American English. It is intended for those sorts of games as you suggested. At the end of the day, I'm happy with it because it is for development, but it always helps to hear other thoughts about it as well. Thank you!!
