Peacock

Dictionary Order: Identifying the First Word

We determine the dictionary order by comparing words letter by letter from the start.

Comparing Initial Letters

  • All words begin with 'Pe'.
  • The third letters are 'o' (People), 'a' (Peasant), 'n' (Penguin), and 'a' (Peacock).
  • The letter 'a' comes before 'n' and 'o' in the alphabet. Therefore, 'Peasant' and 'Peacock' precede 'Penguin' and 'People'.

Comparing 'Pea' Words

We compare 'Peasant' and 'Peacock' further using their fourth letters.

  • 'Peasant' has the letter 's'.
  • 'Peacock' has the letter 'c'.

Since 'c' precedes 's' alphabetically, 'Peacock' comes before 'Peasant'.

Result

Peacock is the first word when arranged in English dictionary order.
