                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.
