Explanation

Words: CAMP, THIN, SAME, STAR, ABLE. Alphabetical order: ACMP, HINT, AEMS, ARST, ABEL. Dictionary order: ABEL, ACMP, AEMS, ARST, HINT. 2nd word is ACMP (3rd letter is M). 4th word is ARST (2nd letter is R). Letters between M and R are N, O, P, Q (4 letters).

AI explanation

Arrange the letters within each given word alphabetically to get ACMP, HINT, AEMS, ARST, and ABEY. Sorting these newly formed words in dictionary order gives ABEY, ACMP, AEMS, ARST, and HINT. The third letter of the second word (ACMP) is M, and the second letter of the fourth word (ARST) is R. The letters strictly between M and R in the English alphabet are N, O, P, and Q, giving a total of 4 letters.
