Instead, open the dictionary where you think the word will be based on the alphabet. If it starts with an L, it's probably near the middle of the dictionary. If it starts with an X, it's going to be closer to the back. From there, use the guide words. Those are words at the top of a page that tell you the first and last words you can find on that page. Keep flipping until the word you're looking for comes between the guide words on the page. Then, use what you know about alphabetizing to find the entry for the word you want.
