+ This site uses word similarity to score all dragon names in terms of its
+ "closeness" to the given name.
+ The dragon name that is the "closest" is the one selected as the user's dragon.</p>
+ <p>
+ It uses three popular techniques to calculate similarity scores -
+ these are the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance" target="_blank">Levenshtein Distance</a>,
+ <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosine_similarity" target="_blank">Cosine Similarity</a>,
+ and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaccard_index" target="_blank">Jaccard Similarity</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The final result shown to the user uses cosine similarity only,
+ but top ranking dragons from each of the other two techniques are
+ also shown as alternatives.
