100 words is a short paragraph
At 100 words you are working at the scale of a single paragraph — an abstract, a product description, a cover-letter opening or a long social post. It will not fill a page in any standard format, so if a brief asks for "100 words" it is asking for concision rather than a page count.
Text this short is worth writing tight rather than padding. Most editors will tell you a 100-word paragraph carries one idea comfortably and two badly. If you are designing a layout around this much text, generate placeholder at the same length so you can see whether it fills the space you have allowed for it.
