Usually, we look at the <strong>first letter<\/strong> of each word to decide the order. But what happens when words have the same first letter? Or even the same first two letters?

This helps us put words in the correct order in dictionaries, lists, and more. Think of it like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>First Letter:<\/strong> If the first letters are different, that&#8217;s the only letter you need.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Second Letter:<\/strong> If the first letters are the same, look at the second letter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Third Letter:<\/strong> If the first and second letters are the same, look at the third letter!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> If two words have the same first three letters, the one with fewer letters comes first. For Example: will come before .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-text-color has-link-color\" style=\"color:#000060\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Examples<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>app<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, all words start with &#8216;a&#8217;. &#8216;ant&#8217; comes first because &#8216;n&#8217; comes before &#8216;p&#8217; in the alphabet. Now between and , both have , so the third letter decides the order. Since &#8216;p&#8217; comes after &#8216;e&#8217;, the correct order is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ape<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>app<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>comet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>common<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>commit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All three words start with &#8216;com&#8217;. So, we look at the third letter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>com<strong>e<\/strong>t<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>com<strong>m<\/strong>on<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>com<strong>m<\/strong>it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;e&#8217; comes before &#8216;m&#8217;, so &#8216;comet&#8217; comes first. &#8216;common&#8217; and &#8216;commit&#8217; both have &#8216;m&#8217; as their third letter, so we move to the <em>fourth<\/em> letter: &#8216;common&#8217; has &#8216;m&#8217; and &#8216;commit&#8217; has &#8216;m&#8217;, so then we move to the 5th letter: &#8216;o&#8217; comes before &#8216;i&#8217; so comes before . The correct order is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>comet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>common<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>commit<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-text-color has-link-color\" style=\"color:#000060\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Time to Practice!<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Put these words in alphabetical order based on the first three letters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Exercise 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>bat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>bad<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>bag<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Exercise 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>cry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>crab<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>crow<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Exercise 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>sun<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>super<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>suppose<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-text-color has-link-color\" style=\"color:#000060\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Answers<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Exercise 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>bad<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>bag<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>bat<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Exercise 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>crab<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>crow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cry<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Exercise 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>sun<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>super<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>suppose<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-text-color has-link-color\" style=\"color:#000060\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Next Steps<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve learned how to alphabetize words using the first three letters, practice with longer lists of words.
