# TBR Session 2026-05-13: The Usual Suspects Strike Gold

Nearly ten thousand domains hit the pool Wednesday morning, and the grabbing stopped fast. WHC Online Solutions Inc. and BareMetal.com inc walked away with 214 of the 240 caught domains between them—that's 89 percent of the action. The overall pickup rate landed at 2.44 percent, which means 9,593 decent names will sit in the open pool waiting for patient hunters willing to register outside the TBR window.

WHC Online Solutions Inc. led with 150 catches and showed the widest net, landing mid-tier dictionary words like gigawatt.ca, consoles.ca, and workweek.ca. That's volume play—solid names that'll move as portfolio stock or resale. BareMetal.com inc, meanwhile, was sharper. With 64 catches, they hooked the four-letter gems: aber.ca, gaff.ca, herring.ca, and wayland.ca all landed in their hands. They also snagged the 10-character scientific.ca and delicacy.ca, proving they weren't just swinging at short codes. BareMetal clearly came armed and ready.

Register.ca Inc. grabbed eleven and made them count. cis.ca, ursa.ca, arche.ca, scrub.ca, and novae.ca—all clean, short, brandable. Three-letter and five-letter dictionary words at brand scores of 100 and 81 aren't common pickups; they took quality over quantity. Webnames.ca Inc. caught just five but stuck around long enough to land winthrop.ca, a solid seven-letter proper noun. The rest of the field—MyID.ca INC., Grape Inc., easyDNS Technologies Inc.—each grabbed a handful, with Grape Inc. deserving a nod for lafayette.ca.

What's curious is what got left behind. accountably.ca, oberlin.ca, unbalanced.ca, philology.ca, and courageously.ca all scored in the top tier and nobody bit. pancreatitis.ca and sophistique.ca are legitimate dictionary words, yet they're still available. jitter.ca and spiffs.ca are solid six-letter plays—the kind of name you'd expect to vanish. Either the major registrars had different priorities this week, or these landed in category zones they weren't hunting.

The session confirms what we see every drop: two or three heavy players control the early game, and the rest of the pool goes untouched. This week's catch rate suggests a quieter hunt than usual—the big names found what they wanted and stepped back.
