- A search engine — One factual line per query, with no conversation around it.
- Asking a colleague — Shorter, and it costs someone else their time.

Use cases
Getting a quick definition
Asking what a term means and getting one line is the clearest case for the constraint.
Cutting a decision short
When you already know the options and want a nudge rather than a comparison table, brevity is the feature.
Practising concise writing
Seeing an idea compressed to its shortest form is useful when you are editing your own text down.
The questions 18 Words prompts
What is 18 Words?
A small conversational tool built around one rule: every response is eighteen words or fewer. The constraint is the product rather than a setting.
Is 18 Words right for you?
People who want a direct answer without scrolling past an explanation, and who find a full-page reply to a yes-or-no question worse than useless.
What does it cost?
The listing states no price tier, so nothing here should be read as one. Interested users should check the project page for the current arrangement.
What does the limit cost you?
Nuance. Some questions genuinely need a paragraph, and forcing them into eighteen words produces confidence where a longer answer would have carried a caveat.
Before you rely on it
Check the price yourself
The listing does not state a tier. Confirm what it costs before relying on it.
Do not use it for anything consequential
A constrained answer cannot carry a caveat. Keep it for questions where being approximately right is enough.
