I want to say yes. I am having trouble convincing myself though. Can anyone give me a very small nudge in the right direction? Thanks!
Is the set {a} x (a,b) open in R x R in the dictionary order topology?

SUMMARY
The set {a} x (a,b) is indeed open in R x R when considering the dictionary order topology. This conclusion is supported by the properties of the dictionary order topology, which defines open sets based on the lexicographical arrangement of pairs. The discussion confirms that the set meets the criteria for openness in this specific topological space.
