📝 Explanation:

To sort words alphabetically:
1. Look at the first letter of each word.
2. If the first letters are the same, compare the second letter, and so on.
3. Ignore capitalization — treat all letters as lowercase for sorting.
4. Words with fewer letters can come before longer ones if they start with earlier letters.

For example: "apple" comes before "banana" because 'a' < 'b'.

This exercise helps build vocabulary and understanding of alphabetical order, which is essential for reading, writing, and organizing information.
