Guide Words worksheet for sorting words into dictionary pages.

Final Answer:
far: favor, farm, jar, jib, jiffy, jingle, jetson
flake: flare, jade, jape, jelly, jolt, jolt (wait—jolt is not in list), actually: flare, jade, jape, jelly, jolt is not present — let’s carefully sort using the given word box:

Word Box:
favor, flare, jeep, jail, jewel, jelly, jape, freak, faster, fool, farm, jar, jib, jiffy, free, jingle, fear, feast, five, jetson

Guide words:
far → words starting with *fa* or *far* up to but not beyond *far* (i.e., words alphabetically ≥ "far" and < "flake")
flake → from ≥ "flake" and < "master"
master → from ≥ "master" and < "menial"
oasis → from ≥ "oasis" and < "oval"
oval → from ≥ "oval" and < "tear"
tear → from ≥ "tear" and < "trident"

Let’s sort all words alphabetically first:

favor
flare
farm
faster
feast
fear
five
fool
free
jar
jape
jazz? no — jib
jiffy
jelly
jeep
jewel
jingle
jetson
jail

Wait — better to list all 16 words clearly:

1. favor
2. flare
3. jeep
4. jail
5. jewel
6. jelly
7. jape
8. freak
9. faster
10. fool
11. farm
12. jar
13. jib
14. jiffy
15. free
16. jingle
17. fear
18. feast
19. five
20. jetson

That’s 20 words — let me recount the original list:

"favor, flare, jeep, jail, jewel, jelly, jape, freak, faster, fool, farm, jar, jib, jiffy, free, jingle, fear, feast, five, jetson" → 20 words.

Now sort them alphabetically:

- favor
- flare
- farm
- faster
- feast
- fear
- five
- fool
- free
- jail
- jar
- jape
- jib
- jiffy
- jeep
- jewel
- jingle
- jetson
- jelly
- freak ✘ — wait, “freak” starts with f-r, so after “free”, before “fool”

Correct alphabetical order:

Start with f words:
- favor
- flare
- farm
- faster
- feast
- fear
- five
- flick? no
- freak
- free
- fool

But alphabetical: compare letter by letter:

“favor” = f-a-v
“flare” = f-l-a
“farm” = f-a-r
So:
f-a-f → favor
f-a-r → farm
→ So favor vs farm: 'v' vs 'r' → r comes before v, so farm < favor

Let’s do proper sorting:

List all words:

1. farm
2. favor
3. fear
4. feast
5. five
6. flick? no
7. flare
8. freak
9. free
10. fool

Wait — standard dictionary order:

Compare first letter: all start with f or j.

Group F-words:
- farm
- favor
- fear
- feast
- five
- flare
- freak
- free
- fool

Now sort these:

Use first two letters:

fa: farm, favor
fe: fear, feast, five, free
fl: flare
fr: freak
fo: fool

Within *fa*: farm (f-a-r) vs favor (f-a-v) → r < v ⇒ farm, then favor

Within *fe*: fear (f-e-a), feast (f-e-a-s-t), five (f-i-v) — wait, five starts with f-i, not f-e! Mistake.

Five = f-i-v-e → so after f-e words, before f-l.

Correct grouping by second letter:

- f a: farm, favor
- f e: fear, feast, free
- f i: five
- f l: flare
- f r: freak
- f o: fool

Now sort within:

fa: farm (f-a-r), favor (f-a-v) → farm < favor
fe: fear (f-e-a), feast (f-e-a-s-t), free (f-e-r)
Compare fear vs feast: both f-e-a, then r vs s → r < s, so fear < feast
free: f-e-r → after f-e-a… so fear, feast, then free? No: after “feast” (f-e-a-s-t), next is “free” (f-e-r): compare third letter: a (in fear/feast) vs r (in free) → a < r, so fear, feast come before free.

So fe order: fear, feast, free

Now full F-list:
1. farm
2. favor
3. fear
4. feast
5. free
6. five
7. flare
8. freak
9. fool

Check: five = f-i, flare = f-l → i < l, so five before flare ✔
freak = f-r, fool = f-o → o < r, so fool before freak? Wait: f-o vs f-r → o (15) < r (18), so fool before freak

So correct F-order:
- farm
- favor
- fear
- feast
- free
- five
- flare
- fool
- freak

Now J-words:
jeep, jail, jewel, jelly, jape, jar, jib, jiffy, jingle, jetson

Sort J-words:

Second letter:
ja: jail, jape, jar
ji: jib, jiffy, jingle, jetson
je: jeep
jo: none
ju: jewel? no, jewel = j-e-w

Actually:
- jail (j-a-i)
- jape (j-a-p)
- jar (j-a-r)
→ among ja: jail (a-i), jape (a-p), jar (a-r) → i < p < r ⇒ jail, jape, jar

- jeep (j-e-e)
- jewel (j-e-w) → jeep < jewel (e-e vs e-w; second e same, third e < w)

- jib (j-i-b)
- jiffy (j-i-f)
- jingle (j-i-n)
- jetson (j-e-t) → wait, jetson = j-e-t, so belongs with je group!

So je words: jeep, jetson, jewel
Order: jeep (j-e-e), jetson (j-e-t), jewel (j-e-w) → e < t < w ⇒ jeep, jetson, jewel

Then ji words: jib (j-i-b), jiffy (j-i-f), jingle (j-i-n) → b < f < n ⇒ jib, jiffy, jingle

jelly = j-e-l-l-y → j-e-l, so after jeep (j-e-e), before jetson (j-e-t)? Compare: jeep = j-e-e, jelly = j-e-l, jetson = j-e-t → e < l < t ⇒ jeep, jelly, jetson, jewel

So full J-order:
- jail
- jape
- jar
- jeep
- jelly
- jetson
- jewel
- jib
- jiffy
- jingle

Now combine all 20 words in full alphabetical order:

1. farm
2. favor
3. fear
4. feast
5. free
6. five
7. flare
8. fool
9. freak
10. jail
11. jape
12. jar
13. jeep
14. jelly
15. jetson
16. jewel
17. jib
18. jiffy
19. jingle
20. ??? we have 20 — yes.

Now assign to guide word sections:

Guide words given:
- far → includes words from “far” up to (but not including) “flake”
So words ≥ "far" and < "flake"

What’s first word ≥ "far"? "farm" (far-m) — yes. Next: favor, fear, feast, free, five, flare — is "flare" < "flake"? flare = f-l-a-r-e, flake = f-l-a-k-e → compare: f-l-a-r vs f-l-a-k → r (18) > k (11), so flare > flake? Wait: fourth letter: flare = r, flake = k → k < r, so flake < flare.

Thus: words < flake are those that come before "flake". Since "flake" starts with f-l-a-k, any word starting f-l-a-* with 4th letter < k goes before; but r > k, so flare is after flake.

So which words are < flake?

- farm (f-a) ✔
- favor (f-a) ✔
- fear (f-e) ✔
- feast (f-e) ✔
- free (f-e) ✔
- five (f-i) ✔
- flare? f-l-a-r — compare to f-l-a-k: at 4th character, r > k → flare > flake → so flare NOT in far section.

Thus far section: farm, favor, fear, feast, free, five

Next guide word: flake → words ≥ flake and < master

Words ≥ flake: flare (since flake < flare), then fool, freak, jail, etc.

But is there any word between flake and master? Yes: flare, fool, freak, jail, jape, jar, jeep, jelly, jetson, jewel, jib, jiffy, jingle

All j-words come after f-words, and master starts with m, so all remaining words (from flare onward) go under flake, until master.

But guide words are: far, flake, master, oasis, oval, tear, trident

We must place words into the 6 boxes:

Box 1: far
Box 2: flake
Box 3: master
Box 4: oasis
Box 5: oval
Box 6: tear

Note: “menial” and “trident” are guide words on right side, but boxes labeled: far, flake, master, oasis, oval, tear — 6 boxes.

Given guide words on sheet:
top row: far, flake, master, menial
bottom row: oasis, oval, tear, trident

But only 4 boxes drawn on top row, 4 on bottom — but image shows 4 boxes: top-left (far), top-right (flake), bottom-left (oasis), bottom-right (oval)? Wait, description says:

"far" box, "flake" box, "master" box, "menial" box — but only 4 boxes drawn? Actually user text shows:

far flake master menial
[box] [box] [box] [box]
oasis oval tear trident
[box] [box] [box] [box]

But in the problem, likely only 4 boxes are to be filled — however the directions say “sort the words … into the correct dictionary pages” with those guide words.

Standard dictionary page headers: each box corresponds to range between two guide words.

So:
- far / flake → words from *far* up to before *flake*
- flake / master → from *flake* to before *master*
- master / oasis → but master < oasis? m < o, yes.
- oasis / oval
- oval / tear
- tear / trident

So 6 ranges.

Now determine which words fall in each:

1. far to flake: words ≥ "far" and < "flake"
As established: farm, favor, fear, feast, free, five
(because flare = f-l-a-r-e > f-l-a-k-e = flake)

Check "five": f-i-v-e — since f-i > f-l? No: second letter i (9) < l (12), so five comes before flare, and certainly before flake? flake starts with f-l, five with f-i → i < l, so five < flake ✔

So far-box: farm, favor, fear, feast, free, five → 6 words

2. flake to master: words ≥ "flake" and < "master"
Starts with flare (f-l-a-r-e) — is flare ≥ flake? Yes, because flake < flare.
Then fool (f-o), freak (f-r), and all j-words (j > f, but master = m, and j < m? j=10, m=13, so j-words come before master). Yes, all j-words are before master.

So this group: flare, fool, freak, jail, jape, jar, jeep, jelly, jetson, jewel, jib, jiffy, jingle

Count: that’s 13 words. Total words 20, 6 in first, 13 = 19 — missing one.

What about "faster"? We missed "faster"!

Add faster: f-a-s-t-e-r
Where does it go? After farm (f-a-r) and favor (f-a-v)? Compare farm (f-a-r) vs faster (f-a-s): r < s, so farm < faster < favor? favor = f-a-v, s < v, so farm, faster, favor.

So insert faster after farm, before favor.

Update far-box: farm, faster, favor, fear, feast, free, five → 7 words

Now remaining: flare, fool, freak, jail, jape, jar, jeep, jelly, jetson, jewel, jib, jiffy, jingle → 13 words → total 20.

Yes.

Now check if any word < far? No.

So:

- far box: farm, faster, favor, fear, feast, free, five
- flake box: flare, fool, freak, jail, jape, jar, jeep, jelly, jetson, jewel, jib, jiffy, jingle

But wait — “menial” is after master, and no words start with m, o, t except possibly none. The word list has no m, o, t words. So master, oasis, oval, tear boxes will be empty.

Thus final assignment:

far: farm, faster, favor, fear, feast, free, five
flake: flare, fool, freak, jail, jape, jar, jeep, jelly, jetson, jewel, jib, jiffy, jingle
master: (none)
oasis: (none)
oval: (none)
tear: (none)

But the worksheet likely expects only non-empty boxes filled. However, the instruction: “sort the words … into the correct dictionary pages” — so we put each word in the box whose left guide word ≤ word < right guide word.

Given guide word pairs:
- far — flake
- flake — master
- master — oasis
- oasis — oval
- oval — tear
- tear — trident

Words with first letter j are after f, before m, so all in flake–master box.

Thus:

Final Answer:
far: farm, faster, favor, fear, feast, free, five
flake: flare, fool, freak, jail, jape, jar, jeep, jelly, jetson, jewel, jib, jiffy, jingle
master:
oasis:
oval:
tear:
