Where Danish numbers get hard
These are the hints Lexie shows when a number falls in a tricky range.
- 21 to 99: ones before tens (enogtyve = one-and-twenty)
- 50 to 59: halvtreds = half-third × 20 (2.5 × 20)
- 60 to 69: tres = three × 20
- 70 to 79: halvfjerds = half-fourth × 20 (3.5 × 20)
- 80 to 89: firs = four × 20
- 90 to 99: halvfems = half-fifth × 20 (4.5 × 20)

How the practice works
- Three ways to drill: a quiz, your voice, or by ear.
- The blob reacts to every answer and thrives when you practise.
- Rounds are short, and the numbers get longer as you level up.
