Seems okay on mobile, how does it look for you?

Jfyi the title has been edited now, it was the actual word previously which was not broken and just made the page super wide on mobile.

It was fine on my iOS Safari with a small screen. It automatically hyphenated it, differently depending on orientation.

Presumably not on other browsers, though, as lots of people were complaining.

Safari on iOS 26.2 did not hyphenate it for me. I bet it has something to do with which languages are installed.

Ta!

Especially not working on mobile because the long word pushes for wider column and therefore a more zoomed out view.

`word-break: break-all;` would solve that.

"solve" is a strong word. The rest of HN would basically be unreadable

It will go down in HN-history as the one exception, where it was ok to not use the page title verbatim.

I read the article and was disappointed that the full "word" got cut off, but I know that somewhere, there's a German out there who will post something even longer.

I’m German and think the idea to compound words into one should not really count as the longest / a long word. I mean yes it is but also it isn’t. Like: “ Grundstücksverkehrsgenehmigungszuständigkeitsübertragungsverordnung” In the end it’s just slapping words together and count it as one.

Agree
