Question

Answer if the dictionary page has the words crochet and crossbones what word would be in between out of criticize, crocodile, croquet, crouch, crocus

Answer 1

Dictionaries are alphabetized. We're looking for words that are alphabetically after "crochet" but before "crossbones". "Criticize" starts with cri-, which comes before cro- and is therefore outside of the range. "Crocodile" begins croco-, which is after croch-, and before cross-. The same for "croquet" and "crocus". "Crouch" begins crou-, which comes after cros- and is therefore out of range.
"Crocodile", "croquet", and "crocus" would be on that page.
