How to make cells automatcially go to a new row

I have a table that is 650px wide and I add words to this table...each word is in its own cell. However if I have too many words then it expands the table.
What I want to do is allow it to limit the X and auto go to a new row or under the current content so it doesn't resize the table.

I thought about calculating the width of each cell using JS..but it says each is 0px as the cells are created programmatically using JS.

Perhaps a table is not the best solution for you, since it doesn't have this functionality.

You could try simple <div>'s, they will wrap, but you could also have a look at the newer, and more advanced, Flexbox. Have a look at the Wrapping section on that page.

I got it work by using

 #tGrammar {
  display: block;
  }

 #tGrammar td {
  display: inline-block;
  }

in CSS

and in JS where is tChoicesMain is table

tChoicesMain.style.tableLayout = "fixed";
tChoicesMain.style.maxWidth = "650px";
tChoicesMain.setAttribute("id", "tGrammar");
