Problem with words wrapping inside element when resizing screen

Hi!

I have a problem with the menu item text wrapping inside the elements when the screen is resized. The elements themselves are not wrapping, just the text within. I can't seem to get the element text to shrink. Do you have any recommended CSS properties?

Hey Jason! If you are working in workspaces can you provide a snapshot link? Or you can paste your code here so we can take a look and help see what's wrong. Either would be really helpful so we can see what code you are using.

Without seeing the code or challenge, this sounds like it may be a good place to use flexbox with flex-wrap.

But depending on the course, there may be another method that's more in keeping with the teaching. Just post a link to it and share your code.
