Numbers in the Dictionary

The "in-the-dictionary" riddle type is one of my favorites, and it is easy to make up examples with numbers. Plus it's good practice for both math AND spelling to make up your own riddles like this! Here are a few to get you started... and you don't really need to reveal the answer, because it's the same answer every time: IN THE DICTIONARY!

When does three come AFTER eight?

When does seven come BEFORE six?

When does eleven come BEFORE ten?

When does eight come BEFORE four?

Two is greater than one; three is greater than two; four is greater than three. But where does four come BEFORE one and two and three?
