mist.academy

Because "mist" is a recognizable word, mist.academy benefits from both type-in traffic and search-intent alignment. Sub-5-character names like this one typically trade with a significant length premium, though the actual value still depends on pronounceability and TLD. Balanced between vowels and consonants — typical for a pronounceable English-style name. .academy is a niche TLD with a narrower buyer pool; the aftermarket here depends heavily on whether the SLD itself carries standalone demand. With zero Wayback coverage, the domain's prior history is effectively a clean slate from a content perspective. At DQS 49, the name sits in the mid band — not an automatic buy, but worth evaluating against a specific use case rather than on its own merits. Redemption-period status means the owner has about 30 days left to reclaim the name. Any outside party can only wait and watch. The keyword component is the honest hook here.
