to get the smart break  break-word  work well on different browsers  what worked for me was the following set of rules    elm       word-break break-word     webkit blink browsers        word-wrap break-word     ie      -moz-document url-prefix       catch ff         elm           word-break  break-all     in ff-  with no break-word we ll settle for break-all

Use this code  taken from css-tricks  that will work on all browser  overflow-wrap  break-word  word-wrap  break-word   -ms-word-break  break-all     This is the dangerous one in WebKit  as it breaks things wherever    word-break  break-all     Instead use this non-standard one     word-break  break-word      Adds a hyphen where the word breaks  if supported  No Blink     -ms-hyphens  auto  -moz-hyphens  auto  -webkit-hyphens  auto  hyphens  auto

inline-block is of no use in this scenario  SOLUTION  word-break  normal break-all keep-all break-word initial inherit  Simple Answer to your doubt is Use above and make sure white-space  nowrap nowhere used   NOTE FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING   word-wrap overflow-wrap is used to break words that overflow their container  word-break property breaks all words at the end of a line  even those that would normally wrap onto another line and wouldn   t overflow their container   word-wrap is the historic and nonstandard property  It has been renamed to overflow-wrap but remains an alias  browsers must support in future  Many browsers  especially the old ones  don   t support overflow-wrap and require word-wrap as a fallback  which is supported by all    If you want to please the W3C you should consider associate both in your CSS  If you don   t  using word-wrap alone is just fine

Work-Break has nothing to do with inline-block  Make sure you specify width and notice if there are any overriding attributes in parent nodes  Make sure there is not white-space  nowrap  see this codepen  x000D   x000D   lt html gt    lt head gt   lt  head gt    lt body gt     lt style scoped gt       parent         width  100vw             p         border  1px dashed black        padding  1em        font-size  calc 0 6vw   0 6em         direction  ltr        width  30vw        margin auto        text-align justify        word-break  break-word        white-space  pre-line        overflow-wrap  break-word        -ms-word-break  break-word        word-break  break-word        -ms-hyphens  auto        -moz-hyphens  auto        -webkit-hyphens  auto        hyphens  auto                   lt  style gt     lt div class  parent  gt        lt p gt        Note  Mind that  as for now  break-word is not part of the standard specification for webkit  therefore  you might be interested in employing the break-all instead  This alternative value provides a undoubtedly drastic solution  however  it conforms to       the standard        lt  p gt      lt  div gt    lt  body gt    lt  html gt  x000D   x000D   x000D
