Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's arrange the words according to their alphabetical order:
Look at the first two letters:
Words starting with 'La': 3. Latitude, 7. Latent
Words starting with 'Le': 1. Letter, 2. Lexicon, 4. Leverage, 6. Levy
Words starting with 'Lo': 5. Lovable
Compare 'La' words:
Latent ('late...') comes before 3. Latitude ('lati...') → 7, 3
Compare 'Le' words:
Letter ('lett...')
Lexicon ('lexi...')
Leverage ('leve...')
Levy ('levy...')
Alphabetical order of these letters:
'Let' comes first → 1. Letter
'Lev' comes next: compare 4. Leverage and 6. Levy. 'Lever' comes before 'Levy' → 4, then 6
'Lex' comes last among 'Le' → 2. Lexicon
So the order for 'Le' words is: 1, 4, 6, 2
Finally, the 'Lo' word: 5. Lovable → 5
Combining all segments together: 7, 3, 1, 4, 6, 2, 5
