Step 1:
Compare the first, second, third, and fourth letters of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
T, e, l,
and
e
, then move on to the next letter.

c, g, p,
or
s
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Tele

Compare the sixth letter of (Telep
h
one, Telep
a
th). Telep
a
th will come before Telep
h
one in the sequence as
a
