PT 50 g 4 A child eating alphabet soup

Is this a relative ordering game? If not, How should it be diagrammed? If it is RO then what do I do with the last constraint?

This game is an Open Grouping game that utilizes Relative Ordering rules. It should feel as if you are a doing a hybrid between Relative Ordering and Open Grouping. The rules yield two very handy frames from which to approach the questions. The frames are based on whether U is with Y or Z (the last rule).

I don't get why X cannot be 1st in the diagram. I read that U cannot be later than X. But, why can't X be in 1st??

Notice that U has to come after T.

We also know that U is not in a later one than X.

So the X can go after the U or with the U but not before it!

This is like a chain

T
----
U with X or.... X comes after U.

No way X can be first.
