    You can also
    - add hyphens wherever possible (for example "must we come?" instead of "we must come?" saves you 1 word)
    - hunt for missing hyphens ("do we wish" and not "do we wish ")
    - use adverbial forms ("sincerely" instead of "with sincerity")
    - prefer words instead of expressions ("many" instead of "quite a few" or "a large number of").

    How many words do you currently have? And what is your limit?
    Because "ghosting" words so that Word doesn't count them is illusory and unrealistic!
