How to spell seventy-six
What it means: Being one more than seventy-five.
In a sentence: There are seventy-six jellybeans in the jar.
Same family: six, sixteen, sixty, seventy-seven, seventy-five. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: Like most English number words, seventy-six is built from Old English roots: 'seofontig' (seventy) and 'six'. The hyphen in compound numbers like seventy-six became standard in modern English to make multi-word numbers easier to read.
