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).
