Is there a way to set up a Word Count for an open text question?

Hi, I can find lots of comments on character counts in open text responses, but nothing on word counts. I'd like to set up a question which restricts people to answer no more than 3 words. Is this possible?

TimBurrell - You can use custom validation to match the following regex:
^(?:\\b\\w+\\b[\\s\\r\\n]*){1,3}$
