pen--because alphabetical order depends on factors:

-Alphabet letters, literally (spaces DO NOT make them differ)

-If similar thus far, the shorter one comes first

Well, honey, if we're talking about alphabetical order, "pen" comes before "pencil." P for pen and P for pencil, but pen gets the spotlight first in the dictionary. So, there you have it - pen reigns supreme in the A-B-Cs of the alphabet.

In alphabetical order, "pen" comes before "pencil" because "p" comes before "n" in the alphabet. The order is determined by the first letter of each word, with subsequent letters only considered if the first letter is the same. Therefore, "pen" precedes "pencil" when arranged alphabetically.
