What is the best way to find dictionary word domain names that are either about to expire or unregistered?

Tip for best answer: M$3.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Here is how to do it programmatically. 
Linux has a file that lists dictionary words. It can be found in:
/usr/share/dict/
or 
/var/lib/dict/

The domain registrar keeps a public record of each domain which includes when it expires. 

In linux you can retrieve this record with the "whois" command. 

eg: whois example.com

Getting the expiry from the result you could use "grep". 

Eg: whois google.com | grep -i expires 

Most programming languages will allow you to do the same as above.

If you're looking for a ready made solution, then there are numerous sites that track expiring domains. A well known one is afternic.com
