About alphabetical order questions

Alphabetical order questions give you five words, often starting with the same letters, and ask which would come first, second, third and so on in a dictionary.

Tips

  • Compare the words one letter at a time until they differ.
  • Write the words in order on scrap paper before answering.
  • Shorter words come first when one word is the start of another (stag before stage).
