Arrange the given words in the sequence in which they occur in the dictionary.
Shore

Shift

Shimmer

Ship

Shiny

Let's arrange the words according to the alphabetical order:
All words start with "Sh". Let's look at the third letter:

Shore (o)

Shift (i)

Shimmer (i)

Ship (i)

Shiny (i)

"i" comes before "o", so 1 (Shore) will be at the very end.

Now let's compare the words starting with "Shi":

Shif... (f)

Shim... (m)

Ship... (p)

Shin... (n)

Arranging according to their next letters (f, m, n, p):

f comes first → 2. Shift

m comes next → 3. Shimmer

n comes next → 5. Shiny

p comes next → 4. Ship

So the dictionary order is: 2, 3, 5, 4, 1.
