.winstrong parallel
delegated 2015 · live

Same bet: a short aspirational fortune-word with gambling/lottery gravity but no category membership, sold open to anyone who wants the feeling rather than to an industry that must register.

uncontested · scored 40* in 2012 · run by First Registry Limited

.funstrong parallel
delegated 2016 · live

Same bet: a pure mood word with no defined registrant class, monetized on emotional resonance and short memorable left-of-dot phrases rather than on any vertical of businesses.

3 applicants contested it · scored 45* in 2012 · run by Oriental Trading Company, Inc.

.coolmoderate
delegated 2014 · live

Same bet as an open-registry adjective whose value is vibe and wordplay, though it skews to consumer/social identity while .lucky also carries a chance-and-fortune pull that .cool lacks.

uncontested · scored 35* in 2012 · run by Koko Lake, LLC

* A separate 2012-only read, time-locked to what was public that year. Different scale from this page’s score — the two are not comparable.
