Guide words are the words at the top of the pages in the dictionary that let you know what words are below. For example, if you look up the word per in the Webster's dictionary the top of the page will say pennyroyal-percentile these are your guide words.

**Note I used the Webster's II New Riverside Dictionary revised office edition and my example appears on page 507.**

Is entry level hyphenated?

Yes, it is hyphenated. The best way to recall and understand if words should be hyphenated is to first look at the words which are causing doubt.Example sentence:"The hiring manager stated the job required zero experience as it is an entry-level position."Entry, Level and Position are the three words you need to be concerned with.Start by looking at the last word, in this case it is: Position. Then look at the two proceeding words: Entry and Level.Now simply ask yourself: Is this an "Entry Position?" The answer is no, it is not.Then ask: Is this a "Level Position?" The answer is no, it is not; it is however an 'entry-level position.'Best to sum it up by saying if the preceding two words do not make sense when each is spoken alone along with the third word ( remember "Level Position") then you can and should hyphenate it.
