Collector badge

The Collector badge is for discovering 150 words in your Word Diary (some players call it the Index). Only 957 of the game’s 8,519,649 players have it. Words are added to your Diary when they happen in your matches, and every 5 words in a category also pays Cash.

Cash for every 5 words

Each of the 10 Diary categories has its own reward ladder. It starts at 7,000 Cash and goes up by 2,100 Cash every 5 words:

Words in one categoryReward
57,000 Cash
109,100 Cash
1511,200 Cash
2013,300 Cash
2515,400 Cash
3017,500 Cash
…and so on, 2,100 Cash more every 5 words.

The game has roughly 540 words across 10 categories, so filling the whole Diary is worth around 2 million Cash in rewards (our estimate).

How to get there faster

  • Play full matches: every word someone types counts once you see it happen.
  • Common words fill up on their own. The rare words are the ones nobody types, so type them yourself on safe turns.
  • Claim rewards when a yellow dot appears on a Diary tab.
  • Use a checklist so you don’t waste turns on words you already have.
