Numbers form one of the bases of mathematics, which is supposed to be a universal language. The answer to your puzzler only works with English (TWO is near the end for English, but DOS is near the beginning and ZWEI is at the end). Your answer implies that English is better for math than other languages. FOR SHAME!

@George Suds

Everything in your post is, sadly, wrong. Why you feel the need to mix Spanish and German is beyond me. I am sorely disappointed. However, I still find you well-spoken, and wish you all the best.
