it can be thirty
How can it be thirty? there is only 6 letters in thirty, not 12!
I got the pattern, but I couldn't get the answer! Good job.
it could be thirty. boring!
If one reads the comments first, it becomes rather easy.
But the way the question has _ _ made me think that the next TWO words in the sequence were wanted rather than just the one shown in the answer. After it, I believe would come one hundred one.

it could just as eaisily be twenty-ten
It is thrity cause the pattern also could have been Number+3 if you look hard, you'll see that
It would've been helpful if there was a hyphen between the two underscores. Still a good puzzle though. I would also have put in a hint saying that the answer is not "Thirty".
