How to line clamp in the middle of the last word

Time:10-19

I want to clamp the second line of text, BUT if there is a long word at the end, put the ellipsis in the middle of the word.

I currently have the following:

.container {
  width: 300px;
  border: 1px solid blue;
  overflow: hidden;
  display: -webkit-box;
  -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
  -webkit-line-clamp: 2;
}
<div >
  Here we have some long text that needs to be clamped at the 2nd line verylongwordverylongwordverylongwordverylongwordverylongwordverylongwordverylongwordverylongword
</div>

What I want to achieve is the following result:

Expected result

As you can see, the last word is long and should be cut off in the middle and not removed completely.

Is there a nice way to solve this?

word-break: break-all; will do exactly this. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/word-break?retiredLocale=de

.container {
  width: 300px;
  border: 1px solid blue;
  overflow: hidden;
  word-break: break-all;
  display: -webkit-box;
  -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
  -webkit-line-clamp: 2;
}
