Basic concepts of Alphabetical Order
Example: ape, ball, dad, game, sun, yoyo
If multiple words begin with the same letter, look to the second letter to determine their order.
Example: Carabao, farm, fish, goat
Sometimes, you may need to consider the third letter if the first two letters are identical.
Examples: Block, black; brand, bread
