I would say that "little" has 6 letters and "small" has five.
Then I decided to google. Always interesting!
Of course, there are usage and collocation differences, especially using
"little" to describe non-countables...but on the whole, they mean the same.
Sometimes they are interchangeable, and sometimes not:
(small difficulty, little difficulty). I'm sure others will explain it better.
;-)
Cheers...Linda
