How do we arrange words in alphabetical order?

Words are numbered in alphabetical order. Can you provide an example of how this is done with the words 'score, scoreboard, scored, scoring, serve, service'?

Final answer:

Words are ordered alphabetically by examining the letters from the beginning of each word and comparing them. The list of words 'score, scoreboard, scored, scoring, serve, service' in alphabetical order is: score, scoreboard, scored, scoring, serve, service.
