Get a Four-Letter Domain Name by Including One NumberS

Short, sweet, and catchy domain names—they're mostly taken. But if it makes sense to include a number somewhere in the attention-grabbing web site you're setting up, you can break into the four-letter walled garden. The semmyfun blog points out that something near 85 percent of all possible domains with three letters and one number are available, which is actually better odds than having two letters and two digits. Hyphens, too, break out of the short name prison, but there's more likelihood of domain confusion there. As for finding a good, creative name, we've previously recommended Bust a Name and Domainr to get started. [semmyfun]
