Microsoft Word cant be installed

Hi, I am using MacBook Air 2017 (macOs High Sierra). Unfortunately I was facing problems while using Microsoft word. I tried to update the Word with latest version but I failed to do so. Ultimately I had to remove word so that I could reinstall it and continue using it. Now I am trying to reinstall Microsoft word but unfortunately I cant do it. As Word requires macOS 11 or later but my laptop is currently working at OS of 10.13.6. Hence the issue is I cant install word on this version of macOS, neither I can update MacOS to latest version.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13
