To find the number of pairs of letters in the word "MOCKINGLY" that have the same number of letters between them as in the English alphabetical order, we can follow these steps:

1. Write down the English alphabetical order: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z.

2. Now, let's look at the word "MOCKINGLY" and identify the letters that are in the same positions as in the alphabetical order. The letters that match the alphabetical order are: C, G, I, K, L, M, N, O, Y.

3. Next, we need to check if there are any pairs of letters in the word that have the same number of letters between them as in the alphabetical order. We start with the first letter, C, and count the number of letters between it and the next matching letter, which is G. In this case, there are 2 letters (D and E) between C and G.

4. We repeat this process for each matching letter in the word. The pairs of letters and the number of letters between them are as follows:

   • C and G: 2 letters (D and E)
   • G and I: 2 letters (H and I)
   • I and K: 2 letters (J and K)
   • K and L: 1 letter (L)
   • L and M: 1 letter (M)
   • M and N: 1 letter (N)
   • N and O: 1 letter (O)
   • O and Y: 23 letters (P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M)

5. Now, we count the total number of pairs that have the same number of letters between them as in the alphabetical order. In this case, there are 8 pairs.

Therefore, the answer to the question is: More than Three.
