CSS Word Spacing

Default Word Spacing:

Uses the default word spacing.

                          
                            p {
                                word-spacing: normal;
                            }                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
                          
                        

Space is occasionally the norm and doesn't use any special line space.


Increased Word Spacing:

Adds extra space between words.

                          
                            h1 {
                                word-spacing: 5px;
                            }                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
                          
                        

This example increases the space between words by 5 pixels.


Decreased Word Spacing:

Reduces the space between words.

                          
                            article {
                                word-spacing: -2px;
                            }                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
                          
                        

This example decreases the space between words by 2 pixels.


Em Unit for Word Spacing:

Uses the em unit to set word spacing relative to the font size.

                          
                            p {
                                word-spacing: 0.5em;
                            }                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
                          
                        

This example sets the word spacing to half of the font size.


Percentage Word Spacing:

Sets word spacing as a percentage of the normal word spacing.

                          
                            p {
                                word-spacing: 150%;
                            }                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
                          
                        

This example increases word spacing to 150% of the default spacing.


Responsive Word Spacing:

Uses media queries to adjust word spacing based on the screen width.

                          
                            p {
                                word-spacing: 10px;
                            }
                            
                            @media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
                                p {
                                    word-spacing: 5px;
                                }
                            }
