Turn Off Justified Text for Easier Reading
Aligns justified paragraphs in posts to the start of the line instead, because the uneven gaps that justified text creates make reading harder for people with dyslexia and low vision.

.entry-content p:not([class*="has-text-align-"]):not([style*="text-align"]),
.wp-block-post-content p:not([class*="has-text-align-"]):not([style*="text-align"]),
.has-text-align-justify,
[style*="text-align: justify"],
[style*="text-align:justify"] {
text-align: start !important;
hyphens: manual;
}
Notes
Paragraphs you centered or right-aligned in the editor keep their alignment; only justified text and the theme's default paragraph alignment are changed.
