Mikeitz's p'sukim are unusually long for a big sedra. That's why it is so high in the rankings for words and letters.
Mikeitz is THE Chanuka sedra. 70.5% of the time, it is read on the single Shabbat Chanuka. 18.4% of the time, it is read on the second of the two Shabbatot Chanuka. Only 10.1% of the time is it not read on Chanuka, but the very next day (as it is this year). But Mikeitz is still THE Chanuka sedra. There is an elaborate REMEZ to Chanuka from Mikeitz that uses It involves the first several p'sukim in the sedra, letter by letter, forming RASHEI TEIVOT, the initial letters of a summary of the laws of Chanuka. The number of words in Mikeitz is given as 2025, which is NER (numeric value of candle) times 8 plus 25 for the 25th of Kislev. (Our count of the words is 2022 - I have no explanation for the discrepency.) One commentary sees in the description of the scrawny cows devouring the fat cows an allusion to one of the miracles of Chanuka - You gave over the mighty into the hands of the weak.
