Dictionary Order: Word Comparison

To arrange the words in dictionary order, we compare them letter by letter.

The words are:

• 1. Bird

All words start with the letter 'B'.

Step 2: Compare Second Letters

Comparing the second letters:

• Bat ('a')
• Bird ('i')
• Birth ('i')
• Blow ('l')
• Brow ('r')

The alphabetical order of these second letters is 'a', 'i', 'l', 'r'. Therefore, 'Bat' (4) comes first.

Step 3: Compare Words Starting with 'Bi'

We have two words starting with 'Bi': Bird (1) and Birth (2).

Comparing the third letters: both are 'r'.

Comparing the fourth letters:

• Bird ('d')

Since 'd' comes before 't', 'Bird' (1) comes before 'Birth' (2).

Step 4: Compare Words Starting with 'Bl' and 'Br'

Next, we compare 'Blow' (5) and 'Brow' (3).

Comparing the second letters: 'l' in Blow comes before 'r' in Brow.
