Ordering Words in Dictionary Order

To arrange words in dictionary order, we compare them letter by letter from left to right. The word that comes first alphabetically at the first point of difference is placed earlier in the list.

Let's look at the given words and their numbers:

• 1. Kaiser
• 2. Kasakas
• 3. Kabalas
• 4. Kakapos
• 5. Kababs

All words start with the letter 'K'. The second letter in all words is 'a'. So, we need to compare the third letter.

Comparing the third letter of each word:

• 1. Kaiser
• 2. Kasakas
• 3. Kabalas
• 4. Kakapos
• 5. Kababs

The third letters are: i, s, b, k, b. Arranging these letters alphabetically, we get: b, b, i, k, s.

Words 3 (Kabalas) and 5 (Kababs) both have 'b' as the third letter. We need to compare these two words further to see which comes first.

Comparing 'Kababs' and 'Kabalas':

• Kababs
• Kabalas

The first four letters are the same: 'Kaba'. Let's compare the fifth letter:

• Kababs (Word 5)
• Kabalas (Word 3)

Comparing 'b' and 'l', 'b' comes before 'l' in the alphabet. Therefore, 'Kababs' comes before 'Kabalas'. So, the order for these two words is 5, then 3.

Now consider the remaining words with third letters 'i', 'k', 's'. Arranging these third letters alphabetically gives 'i', 'k', 's'.

The words corresponding to these third letters are:

• 'i' → Kaiser (Word 1)
• 'k' → Kakapos (Word 4)
• 's' → Kasakas (Word 2)

So, the order of these words is 1, 4, 2.

Combining the two parts, the words starting with 'Kab' come first (in the order 5, 3), followed by the remaining words (in the order 1, 4, 2).

The final dictionary order of the words is:

1. Kababs (5)
2. Kabalas (3)
3. Kaiser (1)
4. Kakapos (4)
5. Kasakas (2)

The order of the numbers is 5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

Let's summarize the word order based on the third letter comparison:

Comparing words with the same third letter ('b'): Kababs (5) vs Kabalas (3). Kababs comes first.

So the order of the 'b' words is 5, 3.

The order of the remaining words based on the third letter 'i', 'k', 's' is 1, 4, 2.

Combining these gives the final order: 5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
