Alphabetical Order: Sorting Words in Alphabetical Order

How do we arrange words in alphabetical order?

Words are numbered in alphabetical order. Can you provide an example of how this is done with the words 'score, scoreboard, scored, scoring, serve, service'?

Final answer:

Words are ordered alphabetically by examining the letters from the beginning of each word and comparing them. The list of words 'score, scoreboard, scored, scoring, serve, service' in alphabetical order is: score, scoreboard, scored, scoring, serve, service.

Explanation:

To number the words in alphabetical order, we look at the first letter of each word and order them accordingly. If the first letter is the same, we then look at the second letter, and so on, until the words can be differentiated. Here's how the words provided would be ordered alphabetically:

  1. score
  2. scoreboard
  3. scored
  4. scoring
  5. serve
  6. service
