How do I get UILabel multiline and auto-shrink to recognise word length?

My issue is trying to get a UILabel to have multiple lines and auto-shrink together at the same time.

Various articles suggest the following approach:

textLabel.numberOfLines = 0
textLabel.adjustsFontToFitWidth = true
textLabel.lineBreakMode = .byTruncatingTail

This generally works well, except for when a single word is wider than the label, as shown: Screen shot UILabels

All labels have fontSize of 17, together with the properties above. But the third label, which contains the word sesquipedalianism, falls over as a single word is wider than the label frame width.

Anyone know how to get a label to auto shrink for both content and for individual words?
