Uneeded spaces in displayed text

[troy.thomas]

Hi All – I am new to CSS, I am playing around with this code here https://codepen.io/thiagoteles/pen/ogoxLw

When I make the HTML

A smaller Sentence

the cursor runs a lot of blank spaces to where an invisible boundary sits. I have tried adjusting multiple settings but cannot get the cursor to stop at the end of the text.

Appreciate some guidance on how to prevent this, thank you

Ok Found it, more learning required; I assume all numeric values were literal; I changed the width to 12em – I had been doing 22 assuming character spaces.
