Are Scratch 5 letter usernames running out?

spidermanLOLL

I heard that Roblox 5-letter usernames were running out so I created a 5-letter username on Roblox before all of them were gone. (thanks scratchcode1_2_3 I will remove this)

But then I wondered if Scratch is running out of 5 letter usernames. Is it?
(if it is, I'm creating my own 5 letter scratch account before they are all gone)

Probably already ran out.

(Edit: search term was “how many username possibilities are there with only 5 letters” incase someone wants a source citing.)

As far as I'm aware, Scratch is not out of 4-letter usernames, so I would not expect them to be out of 5-letter usernames either.

There are much more five letter combinations ( about 79,235,168 ) since usernames on scratch can include english alphabets, digits, - and _. From which 11,881,376 are the number of combinations using English alphabets only.

So, I believe there are still many 5 letter usernames left on scratch.

I forgot, apologies then.

No. Unlike 3 letter usernames they are fine.

I still own a five letter account but I forgot the password, and it’s getting up there in age. I’d imagine most 5 letter accounts are pretty old, so don’t expect too many good combinations (like a letter, abbreviation, etc.) to be available. Numbers and special character combos are mostly still available.

They're not gone yet.
