What is the smallest word in dictionary?

This is a bit of a trick question! There's no single answer that everyone agrees on. Here's why:

* It depends on what you consider a "word": Do you include proper nouns like "a" or "I"? Do you allow contractions like "a" or "I'm"?

* Different dictionaries have different rules: Some dictionaries include words that are only used in specific contexts, while others focus on commonly used words.

Some contenders for the shortest word include:

* "a" (definite article)

* "I" (pronoun)

* "O" (interjection)

* "A" (article)

Ultimately, there isn't a definitive answer to the question of the shortest word in the dictionary.
