Clever

Seven and eleven rhyme, but so do fifty and sixty.

Just the other day I watched a Brit mystery where someone used the word REPLEVIN.

Twenty-one rhymes with thirty-one … and with forty one …

Looks like they rolled the dice on this one and won.

Hope Devin’s last name is not Nunes jr

107 and 111, 207 and 211 etc…

Million ,billion, trillion all pop to mind.

But Steven doesn’t.

Zvei rhymes with drei.

The’re in heaven about this, but if they’re Jewish, they’ll have to avoid leaven starting tomorrow.

Very nice hinting!

“Lucky Number Slevin”

Elsewhere in the Trivia Department, try to find rhymes for orange, silver, and purple.

they must be talking about seven and eleven, but what are the words that rhyme with them?

What about one and none?

Oof, everyone in my immediate family has a name with a less common spelling, but I’d never inflict “Kevyn” on a son of mine. A fictional character, maybe.

So do one hundred, two hundred… one thousand, two thousand.. ad nauseaum!

Note that many of these aren’t numbers without a modifier. “He has one hundred (or a hundred) books”, but not “he has hundred books”. By contrast, “he has nine books”, not “he has one nine books.”
