Can I launch a blog that uses a .wordpress domain without purchasing a paid plan?

  I have just created a blog using the free plan, including a .wordpress domain. I want to launch the site, but cannot do so without purchasing a domain and using a paid plan. This is just for personal use, so I want to stick to the free plan. Is there a way I can bypass this step to publish my blog site? Thanks.

  Of course you can. When launching your site you can skip the domain purchase and stick with the .wordpress.com address.

  The skip purchase button takes you to the plan choices with no free option.

  @samblandde0e0e0175, when choosing a plan, you should also see a button at the top:

  

  If you do not see this button, check if your using an ad blocking extension on your browser, we’ve seen some cases when it blocked this button as well.
