Originally I was going to say "Create a vanilla rare", but I opened it up from there. Feel free to be as strict or as loose as you like with what counts as a "word", the spirit of the challenge is "simple". I know this will give some close duplication, given that there's only so many possibilities, but I thought it was interesting enough to try.
And since it's much more likely here, link to existing cards you designed that fit the criteria if you want to.
This was quite an interesting challenge. My entries are: (((Field of Dreams))) and (((Avatar of Ideals))). Not sure how balanced/good/broken either is but they are interesting ideas.
Originally, I planned to add a card with the line "Copy all spells", but decided against it, since I would be forced to include reminder text that said (You may not choose new targets for those copies), and that seemed like a total drag. I still like the card, but the best version of it requires more than 5 words.
I think a complete list of rares with 0 or 1 words of rules text is:
Vanilla rares since I started playing
Indomitable Ancients Isamaru, Hound of Konda Vizzerdrix Savannah Lions
Vanilla rares before I started playing
Original 5 dual lands. Goblin Hero Mons's Goblin Raiders Trained Orgg
French vanilla rares since I started playing
Force of Savagery Goliath Sphinx
French vanilla rares before I started playing
Benthic Behemoth Djinn of the Lamp Pale Bears Pygmy Allosaurus Roc of Kher Ridges

This was... challenging. I'm not sure how I fared, to be honest. I ended up with Woven Life and Ethereal Mysterieur.

And cards from me:
Eternal Guardian which inspired the challenge. (Note other cards in the cardset haven't been assigned rarities yet.) Leashed Lightning
Except Leashed Lightning has Nine words of rules text.
I entered with Bond Leeches and Finortis, Peacekeeper.
Late for the party. For your approval, I submit:
Revert to Shadow and Essence of Sky

Not very sensible:http://multiverse.heroku.com/cards/9467 and http://multiverse.heroku.com/cards/9468
Flickering Flames Also, a cycle: Carved from Stone Forged from Light Crafted by Nature Summoned in An Instant Fashioned from Darkness Created by Artifice
I made Terror of the Underdark and Birth of Understanding, which also satisfy Challenge # 064 as per Challenge # 073.
I felt bad after fluffing a card for this challenge for Challenge # 073, so I made If at first...
ETA: I know Kung Fu
Beleren, PI
The Arbor
I give you Uxu, Amnesiac and Spell Harvest.
Bonus: Steward of Stalemates, inspired by Finortis, Peacekeeper from way back in this same challenge.
128089 ("Universal Salvation")
(There is no rarity because it is not a part of a draftable set, although they can be assigned rarities if you intend to draft them.)
There are many things that can be made with only a few words.
