Laravel strip_tags and str::words not working correct?

I have this kind of code in my view blade: 

<p class="article">
   {!! strip_tags((Str::words($article->article, 25))) !!}
</p>

I want to show only the first 25 words, but sometimes it works, sometimes not. Look at the image.

P.S. Text is a writer with TinyMCE and has a lot of HTML tags.

What can be wrong?

Use this:

{!! Str::words(strip_tags($article->article), 25) !!}

You supposed to strip tags, and then limit words (reverse order).

{!! Str::words(strip_tags($article->article), 25) !!}

Also if this text do not supposed to be HTML code, should use {{ }} instead {!! !!} to avoid XSS attacks.

{{ Str::words(strip_tags($article->article), 25) }}}

Another tip will be with Str::words. Since words can be very short or very long, and based on your screen columns should be in similar height then limiting chars instead of words will be better idea.

{{ Str::limit(strip_tags($article->article), 250) }}}
