As this post mentions, the value assigned to the word-spacing property will actually get added to the default value instead of it being the final value. This means that if we assign 0.5em to the word-spacing property of an element, it will actually have 0.75em of word spacing as 0.25em (the default word spacing) + 0.5em = 0.75em. The same thing applies with letter spacing
