Hello!

The dictionary is organized alphabetically. Intelligent and integrity both begin with "inte" which will put them very close together in the dictionary. However, the letter G comes before L in the alphabet. This will put integrity (inteGrity) above intelligent (inteLligent) when listed alphabetically.

Integrity comes before intelligent in the dictionary.

I hope this helps you!
