The word-spacing property allows changing the space between the words in a piece of text, not the individual characters.
This property can have either a positive or negative value. A positive value adds additional space between words, whereas a negative value removes the space between words. When the property is set to “normal”, the defined font will specify the space between the words.
If you want to remove the space between inline block elements, you can set the white-space property to “zero”.
The word-spacing property can be animatable with the transition property.
