Puzzle: Can you find a number with its letters in alphabetical order?

For example: "five" has "fiv" in alphabetical order, but not "e". Could you try?

















Answer:

Forty

It is the only number we know of in English with its letters in alphabetical order. And that is the correct spelling.

Examples from other languages:
In Spanish there is Dos (2)
In French there is Deux (2), Cinq (5), Dix (10), Cent (100)
In German there is Eins (1)
