In [[graph theory]], a graph ''G''&nbsp;=&nbsp;(''V'',''E'') is '''word-representable''' iff there exists a word ''w'' over the alphabet ''V'' such that letters ''a'' and ''b'' alternate in ''w'' if and only if the edge ''ab'' is in ''E''. Letters ''a'' and ''b'' '''alternate''' in ''w'' if after removing from ''w'' all letters but the copies of ''a'' and ''b'' we either obtain a word ''abab''... or a word ''baba''.... In this context, we say that [[W|''w'']] is ''G''<nowiki/>'s '''word-representant''', or that ''w'' '''represents''' ''G''. For example, the [[cycle graph]] labeled by ''x'', ''y'', ''z'' and ''s'' in clock-wise direction is word-representable because it can be represented by ''szxsyxzy''. The smallest (by the number of  vertices) non-word-representable graph is the [[wheel graph]] ''W''<sub>5</sub>, which is the only non-word-representable graph on 6 vertices.
