The number of letters in words varies. There is no specific number of letters or of words in a sentence. In poetry, the shortest expression is "O !" An utterance can be as short as "Hi." Two or three letter words make up simple sentences in everyday speech. More complex sentences need more words, and hence, will have more letters in them.
