Survive Your Ideas runs on words. Every round, one player types a word and the island turns it into an event, and the game’s own index lists 537 of them across ten categories. This page is the whole list: every word in the index, with the effect line the game gives it, so you can look up anything a writer throws at you.
How to use it: press Ctrl+F and type the word you saw on the banner. The line next to each word is the game’s own text – the same sentence that appears under the banner on screen when that word lands.
The counts by category are weapons 76, monsters 40, animals 35, nature 28, weather 16, disasters 25, places 62, food 45, objects 73 and memes 137. Entries with a colon are the specific versions: gun:AWP works, while gun gives you a random gun out of the whole set.

Which words are worth typing again
Reading the list is half the job. The other half is what you type when the roulette picks you, and the index pays you for variety: the first word you have never used pays $7,000, each new one after it pays $2,100 more than the last, and the 537th pays $1,132,600. Only twelve words are worth repeating, because those are the ones with a Mastery track.
We keep the choosing side in two guides: the best words to type (what protects the lobby, what arms only you, what kills the writer too, and all 12 Mastery words with their quests) and the command words guide for the big events – SAVANNA, DRAGON, DEATHNOTE, LAVA and the rest – with what to do while they run. If the word that killed you was a disaster, the items tier list covers the Force Field, Pocket Watch and Shield that answer it.
Survive Your Ideas word list FAQ
How many words are in the game? 537 in the game’s own word list, spread across ten categories. The biggest are memes at 137 and weapons at 76.
Can I type a word that is not on this list? The game says you can type any word. We have not seen an unknown word do anything, and we are not going to guess what it does.
Do capital letters matter? The banner prints every word in capitals whichever way you type it – the joined entry we watched land was written in lowercase and still came out as “TSUMANIANFBLACKHOLE got you”. We have not tested a word twice in different cases, so type it in lowercase and it will print big.
Why do some words have a colon? gun:AWP and food:Cake are the specific versions of a general word. The general one picks at random from the set, the colon version gives you that exact item.
