  Hello,
  I don’t want my words to be cut in half at the end of each lines. How can I set up to block word splitting?

  Hello,

  Automatic hyphenation is handled by your theme. This process can be overridden using some custom CSS (the option of adding CSS is included in the WordPress.com Premium or Business). Do you know if you already have that plan?

  Also, your theme may have the option of turning this off. To confirm, can you paste the URL of your website so that we can take a look?

  Looking forward to your reply.

  Gotcha! Thanks.

  The only way to stop automatic hyphenation would be to use custom the below custom CSS, under https://wordpress.com/customize/ > Additional CSS:

  
  .page-content {
  	-webkit-hyphens: none;
  	-moz-hyphens:    none;
  	-ms-hyphens:     none;
  	hyphens:         none;
  	word-wrap: normal;
  }
  
  .nav-links {
  	-webkit-hyphens: none;
  	-moz-hyphens:    none;
  	-ms-hyphens:     none;
  	hyphens:         none;
  	word-wrap: normal;
  }
  
  .comment-content {
  	-webkit-hyphens: none;
  	-moz-hyphens:    none;
  	-ms-hyphens:     none;
  	hyphens:         none;
  	word-wrap: normal;
  }
  
  .widget {
  	-webkit-hyphens: none;
  	-moz-hyphens:    none;
  	-ms-hyphens:     none;
  	hyphens:         none;
  	word-wrap: normal;
  }
  

  As mentioned earlier, in order to do this, you will need a Premium WordPress plan or higher.
