Ordinal Number Converter

Summary

Enter any cardinal number and instantly get its ordinal numeral (22nd) and word form (twenty-second).

How it works

1. Type or paste a whole number (0–999,999,999,999) into the input field.
2. The tool detects the correct suffix (–st, –nd, –rd, or –th) and displays the numeral ordinal.
3. The word-form engine expands the number into English words, then appends the ordinal ending (–first, –second, –third, –th).
4. Use the Copy buttons next to each result to copy either form to your clipboard.
5. Convert a batch of numbers by typing one per line in the bulk-conversion panel.
