Is jelly a word with 2 syllables 3 letters in each syllable?

No, "jelly" is a word with one syllable.

Here's why:

* Syllables are the units of pronunciation in a word.

* Jelly is pronounced with a single, distinct sound.

Therefore, it does not have two syllables, let alone two syllables with three letters each.
