          Well; for a start:




          The word "what" itself has four letters, the word "sometimes" has nine, the word "always" has six letters and the word "never" has five. So...

          What has $4$ letters, sometimes $9$ letters, always $6$ letters and never $5$ letters. How? $3$ letters!

          I kind of second Hugh's answer, but with a slight addition. What's in the question's body isn't really a question. It's a statement. What has 4 letters, sometimes 9 letters, always 6 letters and never 5 letters. It's just a count of the number of letters in each word succeeding the comma. This is like a guide/legend to answer the real question.




          The real question




          lies in the title ==> But, how is this possible?




          The answer:




          Taking the prototype in the statement given above... this has 4 letters. That is how THIS is possible. In other words... the answer to How is THIS possible?
