 A conundrum [and no cheating!] - Dog
What is a word made up of 4 letters yet is made up of 3.
although is written with 8 letters and then with 4.
Rarely consists of 6, and never is written with 5.
It is made up of 2 but really is 6.
And eventually is 10, but is only 3?

Very correct statement Dog, each of the words you mention have the correct number of letters.....:-):-)

It took me around ten seconds to work it out....

I don't know, it happens to be the type of puzzle that No. 1 frequently presents me with so I was looking for it to be something like that.

Hmm. I'd give you something more complex but I'm listening to Enid Blyton herself reading to me on Spotify as I type, and she tells me Noddy was carved by, well, Mr Carver, and that has made my head spin, so it'll have to wait. Oh hang on, I think Noddy is on the chuffitty train with a clockwork sailor now, can't stop.

but but is 3 so even though is is 2, it was referring to but not is.
