Solution :
Given:
1. Nested 2. Nation 3. Nippon 4. Niger 5. Nappy

Compare the first letter of each word. Since all the words start with the same letter
N
, then move to the next letter.

The second letter of each word is –
e, a, i, i, a.
Based on the alphabetical order of these letters, we can arrange them – N
