Incorrect spelling, explanation: this form is incorrect because we don’t use th for all ordinal numbers; just those which end with th in their full-word form. Therefore, sixty-second should be written as 62nd, not 62th, because the second ends with nd, not th. 62nd is the correct form.
Correct spelling, explanation: nd is the ending for every ordinal number with the second at the end. Since 62nd is sixty-second in its word form, then we use the suffix -nd, not -th as in most numbers. th ending is used for numbers that end with th in their word form. Therefore 62nd is the correct form and 62th is incorrect.
Definition of 62nd:
