Question about English (UK)
Can I use "to keep under" here or not?
"Write down all you thoughts here, but try to keep the number of words under 200." In Russian, we would say "уложиться в 200 слов", and I'm looking for the closest equivalent to it.

Thank you! I just had some doubt regarding the verb "keep under". I thought it was incorrect.
Will these verbs suit the context, too? For example, "the number of words should remain under 200"/"... should stay under 200".
Thanks once again!

@Mashamaria1 yes they're all fine
You can also say "There's a word limit of 200 words" or "Don't write more than 200 words"
