I took this as a personal challenge and built the following simple example:
Simply, the idea is put the text inside a repeating group splitted by space ( ):
In order for the smooth paragraph effect, you shouldn’t have fixed cols and rows and scroll direction will also be Wrapped Horizontally. Setting minimum height to something like 5-10 will also make them look better:
Then, of course group focus is not showing in a repeating group cell. For this you have to create a reusable element:
This reusable element will actually hold the text in each repeating group cell, that’s why the type is text. And you again set all the width and height as small as possible and make things fit to content.
This reusable element has a group focus to show whatever you need:
And it is displayed when the text in the reusable element is clicked of course:
Finally, you add this to the main repeating group’s cell and pass the data:
That’s it 
Here is the editor for the curious minds. Check the eachword page and wordmenu reusable element:
