There are two solutions with the implied constraint of the words being numbers:
"thirty-one" and "thirty-three".
However, there are several more possibilities:
"more than two" (as @Zandar said)
"several"
"not exactly fifty"
""
"spaces and"
"an underscore in place of"
"a period after forty-two"
"144 characters, 11 of which are digits, 26 of which are spaces, 4 of which are punctuation, and finally 105 of which are"
(Check that last one out, it works.)

$\begingroup$ As stated, "more than two" would also work. $\endgroup$– ZandarCommented Jun 19, 2016 at 6:35

$\begingroup$ No, I expected a number in its words. Look at the title. $\endgroup$– SidCommented Jun 19, 2016 at 6:43

$\begingroup$ @Sid: Titles generally shouldn't have information important to the puzzle. They should describe the puzzle briefly. For instance, I'd title this something like "Self-referential letter count". $\endgroup$– Deusovi ♦Commented Jun 19, 2016 at 6:45

$\begingroup$ This question will then be too broad. I expected a number in the words. Answers like several, more than two will be too vague and not an accurate answer. As for the characters, good find that, never expected that although I was just looking for letters. $\endgroup$– SidCommented Jun 19, 2016 at 6:47
