Question Controlling Widows (single-word lines at the end of a paragraph)

Is there any way to set a minimum number of words for the last line in a paragraph? And if not a native one, maybe some kind of script or automated workaround? Manually fixing these is extremely tedious.

I've seen a lot mentioned about the Widow/Orphan control option for preventing single lines at the end or beginning of a page, however nothing I've seen addresses single-word lines at the end of a paragraph.

I've seen at least a few different definitions of widow, so narrowing down a solution has been very difficult.

I've attached an example - 'game.' is the widow.
