Collection system · official data
The Survive Your Ideas Index is the Word Diary
Roblox's badge data pins the game's collection log under its real name: the Word Diary, with a 150-word discovery threshold and the rarest badge in the game. This page reads the official numbers and keeps them apart from the rumors.
What this page covers
One system, two names
The name, pinned officially
People arrive here searching the Survive Your Ideas index, “index all words”, or a word collection log — and the official record settles all three at once: the system's real name is the Word Diary, spelled out in the Collector badge's own condition text, “Discover 150 words in your Word Diary”. No official Roblox surface uses “Index” as the system's name; that label exists in third-party guides only. Everything below keeps the official name first.
What the log actually does
The documented loop is short: words get discovered into a player's Word Diary, and discovery has a milestone — 150 words — which is the Collector badge's entire condition, created October 27, 2026. What the diary looks like in the interface, how discoveries are listed, and whether anything beyond the badge hangs on them: none of that is official. The full word roster is a separate surface — the words hub lists every documented word with its evidence status.
What this page refuses to repeat
Guides on the results page claim that Index entries pay out Cash when unlocked. The official record has no trace of a logging reward, so that claim stays quarantined in the evidence notes at the bottom of this page with its source named — it does not become a fact by repetition.
Exclusive data module
Word Diary official data card
Every value below comes from Roblox's official badges endpoint for Survive Your Ideas (universe 10769671316), snapshot November 8, 2026 — the same snapshot the how-to-play page's badge table draws from. One card, every official field the Word Diary has:
| Field | Official record |
|---|---|
| Official name | Word Diary — named in the Collector badge condition; no other official surface names this system |
| Discovery threshold | 150 words discovered — the Collector badge's entire condition, and an official lower bound on the word pool, not a total |
| Threshold badge created | 2026-10-27, 15:01 UTC — three weeks after the game's October 6 launch |
| Collector badgeId | 3136480215890615 |
| Collector awards | 433 all-time · 260 in the past day (snapshot November 8, 2026) |
| Win rate | 0% as the API reports it — fewer awards than one rounding step, not literally none |
| Logging reward | Absent — no official surface documents any reward for logging words |
How rare the Collector badge is, next to the easiest one
The snapshot's two extremes, side by side from the same endpoint. Read the gap for what it is: almost everyone who launches the game collects the first badge, while reaching 150 diary discoveries is a project measured in weeks of play.
| Badge | Condition | Awarded | Win rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Welcome | “You made it. Now try to survive your ideas.” | 5,791,672 | 89.6% |
| Collector | “Discover 150 words in your Word Diary” | 433 | 0% |
Same snapshot, same endpoint, badges created two minutes apart on October 27, 2026 — 5,791,672 players against 433. No other Survive Your Ideas badge sits anywhere near Collector's end of that spread, which is why the Word Diary's 150-word threshold is the game's real long-haul milestone.
What the official surface does not document
Checked November 8, 2026 against the official game page and the badges endpoint, and logged as research gap syi-gap-002-index-log-reward where a rumor is involved:
- The word pool's real size — 150 is a threshold the game states, not a total it publishes; no official number caps the pool.
- The diary's interface — how discoveries are listed, grouped or displayed is not officially shown.
- A logging reward — nothing official says discovering words pays anything; the Cash claim is covered in the evidence notes below.
- How a word gets discovered — logged automatically when it happens in a round, or marked by hand: the official record does not say.
Survive Your Ideas Index FAQ
What reward do you get for logging new words in the Word Diary?+
None is officially documented as of November 8, 2026. The Collector badge itself is the only documented payoff for reaching 150 discoveries; no official surface says logging words pays Cash or anything else. Third-party guides claim a Cash payout for Index entries — that claim has no official trace, and it stays in the evidence notes below rather than in this answer.
Is the Word Diary the same thing as the Survive Your Ideas word list?+
They are different surfaces describing the same words. The Word Diary is the in-game collection log, officially named in badge text; the word list is this site's roster table of every documented word with its evidence status. For what the game's collection system is and what it officially records, this page. For the words themselves, one row each, follow the words hub link in the reading list below.
How many words are in the Word Diary?+
At least 150 — that is the official discovery threshold and the only pool number the game has ever stated. It is a lower bound, not a total: the official description promises “anything goes”, words arrive through content updates, and no official surface caps the pool. A page printing an exact count would be inventing it.
Why is the Collector badge so rare?+
Because its condition dwarfs everything else: 150 words discovered in one player's Word Diary, against badges like Welcome that 5.79 million players collected just for showing up. At the November 8, 2026 snapshot the split was 433 Collector awards to 5,791,672 Welcome awards, with 260 players earning Collector in the past day — a pace that says most lobbies end long before anyone's diary nears 150.
Versions and evidence for this page
The Word Diary's official name, the 150-word threshold and every Collector number come from Roblox's badges endpoint (universe 10769671316), snapshot taken November 8, 2026 — the same snapshot the how-to-play page's badge table pins. Badge condition texts are quoted verbatim; the rest of the official description is rewritten, never copied.
Quarantined claim, stated once with its source: third-party guides on the results page say unlocking Index entries earns Cash. The official game page, description, badges and API surfaces carry no trace of a logging reward, so the claim is recorded here as an unverified third-party observation under research gap syi-gap-002-index-log-reward — checked November 8, 2026, not adopted, not linked.
