Limit dynamic text to 2 lines within div

I am generating text from a JSON file and displaying it within a div, when the user types a word in an input it scrolls to the current word and if the current word is on the next line then 3 lines appear in the div, how can I set only display 2 lines at once in the div

                 <div className="box">
                    <p className="word">
                        {wordList.map((word, wordIndex) => {
                            const currWord = typedHistory[wordIndex] || "";
                            const isCurrentWord = wordIndex === typedHistory.length;
                            const hasWrongChars = currWord.split("").some((char, index) => char !== word[index]);
                            const isExcessLength = currWord.length > word.length;
                            const isIncomplete = currWord.length >= 0 && currWord.length < word.length && typedHistory.includes(currWord);
                            const shouldHighlightWordRed = hasWrongChars || isExcessLength || isIncomplete;
                            return (
                                <span key={wordIndex} ref={isCurrentWord ? currentWordRef : null}>
                                    {word.split("").map((char, charIndex) => {
                                        let charColor = "#fff";

                                        if (wordIndex < typedHistory.length) {
                                            charColor = shouldHighlightWordRed ? "red" : "green";
                                        } else if (isCurrentWord) {
                                            const typedChar = typedChars[charIndex] || "";
                                            charColor = typedChar === char ? "green" : typedChar !== "" ? "red" : "#fff";
                                        }
                                        return (<>
                                            <span key={charIndex} style={{ color: charColor, backgroundColor: (isCurrentWord && charIndex === typedChars.length) ? 'grey' : 'transparent', paddingBottom: (isCurrentWord && charIndex === typedChars.length) ? '5px' : '0px', paddingTop: (isCurrentWord && charIndex === typedChars.length) ? '5px' : '0px' }}>{char}</span>
                                        </>
                                        );
                                    })}
                                    {' '}
                                </span>
                            );
                        })}
                    </p>
                </div>
.box {
  font-size: 1.5rem;
  height: calc(2 * 2.4em); /* Allow only two lines of text */
  overflow-y: hidden; /* Prevent vertical scrolling within the div */
  padding: 1.5rem; /* Adjust padding to vertically center */
  line-height: 1.8em; /* Ensure consistent line height */
  display: block;
  white-space: normal;
  background-color: var(--sub-alt-color);
  border-radius: 10px;
  color: var(--text-color)
}
.box .word {
  position: relative;
  margin: 0 5px 2px;
}

Should I modify it in such a way that the first line is at the center of the screen, so that the next line also scrolls to that position in this way only 2 lines appear?
