How do you put pasture past paste and pasta in alphabet order?

Here's how to put those words in alphabetical order:

1. Past (starts with "P")

2. Pasta (starts with "P")

3. Paste (starts with "P")

4. Pasture (starts with "P")

Since they all start with "P", we need to look at the second letter. All of the words have "a" as their second letter, so we continue to the third letter.

* Past has "s" as the third letter.

* Pasta, Paste, and Pasture all have "s" as the third letter.

Therefore, the final order is:

1. Past

2. Pasta

3. Paste

4. Pasture
