How to write 67 in words
The number 67 is written “sixty-seven” in British English. The hyphen in sixty-seven is not optional – every compound number from twenty-one to ninety-nine is hyphenated.
67 is one of the basic number words that every larger number is built from, so it has to be learned rather than constructed – but remember the hyphen between the tens and the units.
In running text the number is normally lowercase: “the fee is sixty-seven pounds”. At the start of a sentence, in a heading, or on a legal document it takes capitals: Sixty-Seven. Formal documents often give both forms together, for example “sixty-seven (67)”, so that a reader can check one against the other.
