Can I say that:

The question is "What is the solution?"
And following the pattern in the clue (each number describes the number of letters in the first word in the phrase), then:

The solution is a phrase made up of 11 letters

(space is not a letter)

This is the solution :

Each number of letter concerns a word of the sentence :
What has 4 letters
yet has 3
Sometimes 9
then 4
Rarely 6
never 5
