Note
A regular superlative, formed the short-word way with -est rather than with most, and partnered by the comparative cheaper. It carries every meaning of cheap, so context decides between price and character: the cheapest flight costs least, while the cheapest trick is the most underhanded. Paired with way or method it names the least costly route, as in The Economist's 2013 report on the cheapest way to clear forest for palm oil.
