Letters and Words

Look at the word grid again. Can you make more words? Probably not. Why

can’t you make more words? Letters are arranged in fixed alphabetical order
to form a word. Letters joined together in any order do not make a word.

There are 26 letters in the English alphabet. These letters make words, and
words make phrases and sentences. We speak or write sentences to convey

our thoughts.

We write the English alphabet in this order.
