Chat vs. Meteors word spotlight dictionary (meteor-defs-en.json; the German meteor-defs-de.json has its own notice, LICENSE-defs-de.txt, which also includes rarity metadata under CC BY-SA 4.0) Between waves the game can show one word chat played with a short definition. The definitions are read from two files, which ship with the game; nothing is looked up online while it runs. They are generated from the sources below by apps/streamer-online/scripts/build-meteor-definitions.mjs (English rebuilt 2026-11-03). Definitions use the first semicolon-separated gloss, with leading and trailing bracket notes removed. Long clauses are rejected rather than cut into fragments. Short source examples stay paired with their original sense. Words whose definitions were unsuitable, too long or missing are left out and never shown. The generated file records its sources and reviewed exceptions. Both apps ship identical dictionary data. Rarity remains the pinned wordfreq value. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ English definitions: Open English WordNet, 2025 edition https://github.com/globalwordnet/english-wordnet (release "2025-edition") english-wordnet-2025.xml.gz SHA256 9ca6d1dcb75f822fdd66617f7d9da48142ace38dd544d6ad5e2feca1674ad3fe english-wordnet-2025.zip SHA256 73355e48f8117a24ca9ebc23ed75b35434e6cd21cc9dd3984e80aff5a5f63636 (its oewn2025/index.sense orders each word's senses) Princeton WordNet 3.1 historical sense-tag counts, joined by exact sense key: https://wordnetcode.princeton.edu/wn3.1.dict.tar.gz SHA256 3f7d8be8ef6ecc7167d39b10d66954ec734280b5bdcd57f7d9eafe429d11c22a These old semantic-concordance counts guide sense preference; they do not measure current universal usage.
