what is the first word in the dictionary?

Question

Is the letter A a word?

Answer 1

A as Imaka said is an article. e.g. A fish lived in a lake. So, not only is "a" a letter but also an article like "the".

By the way, in case you wanted to know here's the facts on the last word in a dictionary:

Zyxt is listed as the last word in the online Oxford English Dictionary, an obsolete Kentish word that is the second singular indicative present form of the verb see. The next-to-last is zyxst, an obsolete word meaning 'sixth'. Several online dictionaries list the word zyzzyva, a tropical American weevil, as the last word in the letter Z.

Answer 2

No, the letter "a" is not a word. It is an article.

Aardvark is the first word in the dictionary.

Answer 3

"A" is the first word. The indefinite article e.g. A bus, A car, A dog.
