This is a wordplay riddle! The answer is not actually about the number of letters in a word or phrase, but rather a play on how we interpret the question.
- “What” has 4 letters.
- “Never” has 5 letters.
- “Sometimes” has 9 letters.
So, the statement is true because it is just stating the number of letters in each word. There’s no deeper or hidden meaning. It’s simply about counting the letters in the words “what,” “never,” and “sometimes.”
