Some CPUs have a "wide" microcode word of more than 56 bits.
Some very simple CPUs, such as Viktor's Amazing 4-bit Processor, have a "narrow" microcode word of less than 8 bits.
16 bits
The combination of control steps used for the generation of control signals is a control word. A control word is a word whose individual bits represent the various control signals
2 bytes=16 bits make a word
Each letter usually has seven bits, so the word "sane" has 4x7, or 28 bits.
16
If you are using the ASCII system, the word "duck", as it has four letters, contains 4 bytes, or 32 bits.
A word typically refers to a 16-bit quantity, where 32-bits is called a longword.
No, computers have been built with as few as 1 bit in a word to 72 bits in a word and architectures have been proposed with as many as 256 bits in a word.

Control Word : A control word is a word whose individual bits represent various control signals. Micro-routine : A sequence of control words corresponding to the control sequence of a machine instruction constitutes the micro-routine for that instruction.
8bit 16 bits 32 bits and 64 bits and 128 bits imply a broadside [parallel] output of that many bits of digital information on a buss output. these bits represent a word output. therefore the longest the word the more information can be processed at a time imply more bits the faster the computer or data flow.
