* Dictionary size: The number of words in a dictionary varies depending on the dictionary's scope and criteria for inclusion.
* Word variations: Do you count proper nouns, technical terms, slang, etc.? Different categories might have different word orders.
* Alphabetical order: Even within a dictionary, the order can be complex. For example, hyphenated words might be alphabetized differently than non-hyphenated ones.
However, we can explore the concept:
* Short words: Words like "a", "be", "do", "go" would be in alphabetical order.
* Longer words: Longer words are more challenging. It would be rare to find a long word with every letter in alphabetical order.
In summary: There are likely a few short words in English alphabetical order, but finding them is a fun linguistic exercise. There's no easy way to determine how many there are in a larger sense.
