If you spell out the numbers from one to a thousand, i.e. one, two, three, four,...................................one hundred one, one hundred two, and so on,

what is unique about the last number?

maybe its the only compound word in all the other numbers? or its not the full name since it just says thousand and not "one" thousand?

Sorry Riddler, that was just my sloppy typing, it should have read "one thousand"

It's not that vague, if you spell out the numbers there is something in the last one that doesn't appear in the other 999.

I've been too busy to follow all the riddle threads. If you have one in particular that you want me to answer let me know and I'll get around to it.

If you spelled out all the letters ie: One, Two, Three etc... and crossed out all the alphabetical letters ie: One - you would cross out O N and E, One thousand is the first word to have an "A"

Is that right?
