Although the Oxford English Dictionary defines more than 750,000 English words, there are only about 860 words that have their letters arranged in alphabetical order. These are known as abecedarian words (from the Latin word, acededarius, meaning “alphabetical”).

Excluding the word “a”, the shortest words with letters in alphabetical order, containing only 2 letters, are: am, an, be, is, it, no.

The word ace contains 3 letters in alphabetical order.

There are many words with their letters in alphabetical order that contain 6 letters: abhors, accent, access, almost, biopsy, billow, chintz, effort.

The longest word with letters in alphabetical order is  Aegilops (8 letters). Technically, this is a Latin term for North American and Eurasian plants in the grass family, Poaceae (generally known as goatgrasses), that are the wild ancestor of modern domestic wheat. In medicine, an aegilops is an abscess or ulcer in the outer or inner corner of the eye. However, the longest English words with letters in alphabetical order, containing 7 letters are: beefily, billowy.

List of Compound Words in Alphabetical Order! If you are looking for a comprehensive list of compound words, then you have come to the right place. In this article, we have compiled a list of over 1000 compound words in alphabetical order. This list includes a wide range of compound words, from common everyday words like “butterfly” and “firefly”, to more complex and technical words like “photovoltaic” and “heterogeneous”.

Whether you are a student looking to expand your vocabulary, or a writer looking for new words to add to your arsenal, this list is sure to be a valuable resource. So go ahead and download the PDF at the end of this lesson, and start exploring the fascinating world of compound words.

What is a Compound Word?

A compound word is a word that is made up of two or more individual words that are combined together to create a new word with a new meaning. The words can be joined together in different ways, such as with a hyphen (e.g. mother-in-law), without a space (e.g. headache), or with a space (e.g. ice cream).

The individual words that make up a compound word can be nouns, verbs, adjectives, or other parts of speech. When they are combined, the resulting word often has a different meaning than the individual words would have on their own.

For example, “football” is a compound word made up of “foot” and “ball,” and it refers to a specific sport that involves kicking a ball with the feet.

Types of Compound Words

We can write a compound word in three ways:

• First, as open compounds which can be spelled as two separate words, e.g., Flow chart.
• Second as closed compounds (joined to form a single word, e.g., sunset)
• Third as hyphenated compounds in which two words are joined by a hyphen, e.g., long-term).

Open Compound Words:

Open compound words are composed of two or more words that are written separately and function together as a single concept. They are not joined by hyphens or spaces.

Examples of open compound words include “ice cream“, “high school“, “coffee mug“, “air conditioner“, and “swimming pool“.

Close Compound Words:

Close compound words are composed of two or more words that are written together without spaces or hyphens. They function together as a single concept, but each word retains its individual meaning.

Examples of close compound words include “sunset”, “blueberry”, “bookshelf”, “toothbrush”, and “railway”.

Hyphenated Compound Words:

Hyphenated compound words are composed of two or more words that are joined by hyphens. They function together as a single concept, but the hyphens indicate that the words have a closer relationship than open compound words.

Examples of hyphenated compound words include “well-being”, “co-worker”, “self-esteem”, “mother-in-law”, and “good-looking”.
