Walkthrough
Full survival answersFour moves that keep you alive
The order matters more than the individual trick.
Read the warning
Every word warns first. Treat the warning as the effect already starting.
Warning and reactionTake height or hard cover
Water, lava and flood all punish low open ground. Meteor punishes roofs.
Disaster wordsGet out of water
Sharks cut through floor water, and hip-deep water takes health.
Animal wordsHold one-use effects
Robux meta words fire once per match. Spend them on the stack you cannot out-position.

Updates
Full update logWhat changed this month
Two changes that invalidate older advice, with the date each one landed.
A finisher now always leaves an escape chance
A Nuke, Tsunami or Supernova played right after a knock or freeze word now leaves a fair chance to escape, so freeze traps are weaker than they were.
Update logA danger system and word mastery arrived
Words come faster when nobody is in danger, attacks follow the players who have been safe longest, and Clear gained a two-minute recharge.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many words does Survive Your Ideas have?
509 words are recorded here: 497 regular words in ten categories and 12 meta words. The game does not publish an official total.
What happens if I type a word the game does not know?
Community guides report that the game snaps an unknown word to the closest effect it knows, so near-miss spellings still fire.
Do words stack?
Yes. Everything typed in a match stays, so the island gets worse the longer a match runs.
When is healing turned off?
Community guides report that once three players remain, healing, invincibility and Backrooms words stop working.
What is checked
