authentication seems to be a polysyllabic word with 5 syllables.

Using the Knuth-Liang algorithm, we calculated the hyphenation for the word you've entered. However, this hyphenation may be approximate, because the algorithm relies on pre-defined patterns that may not cover all exceptions, contextual variations, or irregular spellings. For now, authentication is hyphenated as:

aut-hen-ti-ca-tion

Syllables Count: 5
Characters Count: 14
Alpha-numeric Characters Count: 14

What is hyphenation

Hyphenation is the process of splitting words into syllables and inserting hyphens between them to facilitate the reading of a text. It is also used to divide words when the word cannot fit on a line.

This technique is particularly helpful in fully justified texts, where it aids in creating a uniform edge along both sides of a paragraph. Hyphenation rules vary among languages and even among different publications within the same language. It's a critical component in typesetting, significantly influencing the aesthetics and readability of printed and digital media. For instance, in compound adjectives like 'long-term solution', hyphens clarify relationships between words, preventing misinterpretation. Moreover, hyphenation can alter meanings: 'recreation' differs from 're-creation'.

With the advent of digital text, hyphenation algorithms have become more sophisticated, though still imperfect, sometimes requiring manual adjustment to ensure accuracy and coherence in text layout. Understanding and correctly applying hyphenation rules is therefore not only a matter of linguistic accuracy but also a key aspect of effective visual communication.
