Every word and what it does

Type a word and it happens, but what exactly? This list has 48 Survive Your Ideas words we have checked: 41 seen in our own matches, with the game’s exact tip line for each (like ZOMBIES: “Zombies hunt nonstop! Climb something tall and keep moving!”), plus the Mastery words. It grows after every session.

How words work

  • Each word shows who wrote it, the word and a tip line at the top of the screen.
  • Words stack: a tornado can still be roaming when zombies arrive.
  • Close matches become a known effect, shown in a yellow line.
  • Only words you write are added to your Index.

What words look like in a match

67: the game turns number variations like 6767 into the same 67 kid.
Some words play a short cutscene with a big title, like HELL after LAVA.
Only words you write go into your Index. Our first: dragon, “A dragon breathes fire”.
Memes & Powers tab after our second match: luffy, “Rubber arm stretches and slings”.

FAQ

How many words are in Survive Your Ideas?
The game says you can type any word. Known words have their own effect and an Index entry; the November 7, 2026 update alone added 40 to 60 new ones. The Index has 10 categories, and the Collector badge asks for 150 discovered words, so there are well over 150.
What happens if you type a word the game doesn’t know?
Two things we saw in our first match: a close match is turned into a known effect, with a yellow line saying what it became (KRAKEN “became a giant octopus!”); and an unknown name spawns a character with that name (SIMON: “Someone new showed up… they really want you to know their name.”). Number variations count too: 6767 and 7867 both brought the 67 kid.
How do you discover words for the Index?
Write them. After our first match the Index listed only the two words we wrote ourselves (dragon and snow), not the dozen words other players wrote. Each entry has a short description, for example “dragon — A dragon breathes fire”.
Which words are the most dangerous?
In our matches: ZOMBIES (knocked us out twice), TORNADO (“It roams all match”) and DOOM. See the best words page for the full ranking.
