How to Remove Hyphenation with CSS?

[milesharrington]

I’m working on a website and want to know how to remove hyphenation with CSS because words are breaking awkwardly on different screen sizes. Which CSS properties should be used to disable automatic hyphenation and improve text readability across browsers? Anyone with a clean solution, please share.

You may disable hyphenation by typing hyphens: none; And change word-breaking rules in your CSS styles.

Set hyphens: none; in your CSS and adjust word-break properties to prevent words from splitting across lines.

You can usually fix this by disabling the hyphens property. Try setting hyphens: none; along with word-break and overflow-wrap. Most modern browsers respect it, especially when the language attribute is set correctly on the HTML tag.

If your goal is How to Remove Hyphenation with CSS?, the correct approach is:
p {
hyphens: none;
-webkit-hyphens: none;
-ms-hyphens: none;
}

Also ensure text-align: justify; isn’t forcing breaks. Hyphenation is often triggered by justification combined with lang attributes.

CSS hyphenation is like autocorrect’s evil cousin—it thinks it’s helping, but it’s not. Turn it off, take control, and stop your words from doing gymnastics across lines. Your paragraphs will thank you.

I’ve dealt with this exact issue before. When people ask How to Remove Hyphenation with CSS?, the missing piece is usually overflow-wrap: normal; or break-word being misused. Disable hyphens first, then test on Safari—it behaves differently than Chrome.

Ah yes, automatic hyphenation—the feature nobody asked for but everyone gets. Nothing screams “professional website” like bro-

words. Disable it and move on before it ruins your typography further.

I ran into this while fixing mobile layouts. For How to Remove Hyphenation with CSS?, hyphens: none fixed 90% of cases, but adding word-break: normal; sealed the deal. Just remember to test across devices—CSS loves surprises.
