Explanation

This sequence follows the pattern of numbers whose English names have exactly 4 letters: one (3 letters), four (4 letters) ✓, five (4 letters) ✓, six (3 letters), seven (5 letters), nine (4 letters) ✓, eleven (6 letters), one hundred (11 letters). The numbers 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11 are included because each represents a quantity that can be spelled with exactly 4 letters, if we consider that some numbers in the sequence violate the pattern.
