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!
