What is the first word listed in dictionary?

The first word listed in a dictionary depends on the dictionary itself. Some dictionaries list words alphabetically by letter, while others use a different system.

For example:

* The Oxford English Dictionary: "A"

* Merriam-Webster's Dictionary: "A"

* The American Heritage Dictionary: "A"

However, there are some dictionaries that might start with a different word depending on the organization of the dictionary.
