Sort the words under the correct guide word pair. In dictionaries, words are sorted underneath guide words to help people find them more easily. For example, if I wanted to find the word "ketchup" in the dictionary, I might find it underneath the guide words "Kaftan - Knowledge." This shows the range of words that fit on this page. The word "Kabuki" wouldn't fit here, since the b in Kabuki comes before the f in Kaftan in the alphabet. Similarly, the word "Kwanzaa" wouldn't fit, since the w in Kwanzaa comes after the n in Knowledge.
