Step 1:
Compare each word's first, second, and third letters. Since all the words start with the same letter
U

or
a

am, Uns
o
und.

Compare the fifth letter of (Unsa
f
e, Unsa
y

e
n, Unse
a
m). Unsa
f
e will come before Unsa
y
in the sequence as
f
comes before
y
in the alphabetical system. Similarly, Unse
a
m will come before Unse
e
n as
a
comes before
e
.
