Word spacing readability (word-spacing)

Words do not overlap, distort, or lose readability when word spacing is adjusted to 0.16x the font size.


Insufficient word-spacing:

This text uses word-spacing: 0.1em !important, which is less than the WCAG minimum (0.16em). Because the spacing is locked with !important, users can't override it to improve readability.


The toy brought back fond memories of being lost in the rain forest.

Note: Possible to automatically test. The violation can be detected by checking for word-spacing values set via inline styles using !important and less than 0.16em.
