I saw this picture (http://i.imgur.com/n8gnC2Q.jpg) on some social site
and thought it was interesting that 'fox' was in alphabetical order.

So during a quick break I threw this together to see all the words in English that
had this property.

word sources:
twl06.txt  - official Scrabble word list (178,691 words) 
word.txt - FreeBSD/Unix word list (235,882 word)

results:
ordered_words.txt - english words > 2 letter long that are in alphabetical order
rev_ordered_words.txt - english words > 2 letter long that are in reverse alphabetical order
scrabble_ordered.txt - same as ordered_words.txt but from the scrabble list, with score in order
scrabble_rev_ordered.txt - same as rev_ordered_words.txt but from the scrabble list, with score in order
