The spelling of twenty-three in Spanish

In the Spanish videos, it tells you in the numbers video, that you spell for example.... Twenty-Three like this: veintitres.... but I remember learning that as veinte tres. Is one correct and the other one incorrrect? Or are there two ways of spelling twenty three? Please help! Thanks!

Well... I wasn't going to write anything, but everybody seem be to writing without accents. The correct and only form is:

veintitrés

Hi Mizu , Veintitrés is the correct way to say 23 , I think the both of them are spelled the same way but I've never saw anyone who writes it as veinte tres before .

Veintitres is the correct form.

And the rest number are venti+number too. Ventiuno,ventidós,ventitrés,venticuatro,venticinco,ventiseis...
