First, strings are character sequences, and the value of a character that is used for the default comparison, is it's position in the ASCII / Unicode character table. You can see this value by using the ord() function: print(ord('1')) #49 print(ord('A')) #65 print(ord('a')) #97 print('A' < 'a') #True print('1' < 'a') #True When comparing strings of different length, it goes character by character, and something is bigger than nothing. Experiment with it, but I am sure it will make sense for you.

If you compare 'hello' and 'help' then which one is bigger? It goes character by character. First 3 letters are the same, so far they are equal. But p > l so at this point 'help' is bigger. It does not matter, how many other characters each word has, or what is their value. Comparison is decided by the first character that is different.
