Solution :
Given:
1. Stilt 2. Stifle 3. Stink 4. Stingy
Step 1:
Compare the first, second, and third letter of each word. Since all the words have the same letters
S
,
t
, or
i
, so, move on to the next letter.
Step 2:
The fourth letter of each word is
f
,
l
,
or
n
. Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – Sti
f
le, Sti
l
t, Sti

k, Sti
n
gy.
Step 3:
Compare the fifth letter of (Stin
k
, Stin
g
y). Stingy will come before Stink in the sequence as
