    HTML word wrap cannot be done with any tags, and there is no point in using auxiliary code, because the result will not be displayed in all browsers, that is, its cross-browseriness will not be respected. The transfer of words can be done manually, but the result will not please you or your visitors, because the presence of a large number of dashes in the text of the page does not make it attractive. Leave the idea of ​​hyphenation - save your precious time.

    The word-wrap property: break-word; In my work it works as it is not strange only in IE) If long words appear, then you can transfer it manually, but these are probably isolated cases.
