rank of ought = (24*2)+(6*3)+1 = 67
rank of tough = (24*3)+(6*2)+(2*2)+1 = 89

If you know how to do this (and are not trying to learn how to do it), you should post such questions in the Brain Teasers Section.

The rank of the word 'ought' in the dictionary would depend on the specific dictionary being used. However, in a general alphabetical dictionary, 'ought' would most likely be ranked near the beginning as it starts with the letter 'o'.

Similarly, the rank of the word 'tough' would also depend on the specific dictionary being used. However, it would most likely be ranked near the beginning as it also starts with the letter 't'.

It is important to note that the arrangement of words in a dictionary is based on their alphabetical order, not their meaning. Therefore, the rearrangement of letters in 'ought' or any other word would not affect its rank in the dictionary.
