Even after five minutes, the logic has a (small) hole.
Not all odd spell out the digit: thirteen, fifteen (and maybe eleven?) are odd but don’t have an ‘e’ in the word’s “digit” part, though they obviously do elsewhere.
If the answer is supposed to be logically rigorous, o1 is incomplete for the reason you say.
If I was treating this as a lateral thinking puzzle (does anyone still do those for interview questions?) rather than a sensible request, I'd give numbers in a non-Latin character set, at which point it's easy: 一三五七九
Those five are “odd” (i.e., strange) choices, yet each spelled-out form has no letter e. This twist—treating “odd” to mean “strange” rather than “not even”—is usually the intended “gotcha” of the puzzle."

I like this one.
The 4o answer, on the other hand… unless I've missed something (and LLMs are increasingly highlighting to me the ways in which I do), it seems like the kind of wrong that gets LLMs a bad reputation?
It is! 4o is unfortunantely often very dumb in tricky circumstances, or is biased toward pundit-like opinions that are wrong. I'm not sure why that is the case, but the full o1 always has a "weight"/"presence" to it when I chat with it that suggests to me like a real intelligence. It can also solve difficult puzzles that 4o and me struggle with.
