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.
