Text doesn't wrap in evenly distributed, even width flexbox

Here's a sample: https://jsfiddle.net/gxhb2xnu/1

.container {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100vh;
}

.column {
  flex: 1;
  background: red;
  margin: 0 4px;
  height: 100%;
}

<div class="container">
  <div class="column">foõ foõ foõ foõ foõ foõ</div>
  <div class="column">foõ</div>
  <div class="column">foõ</div>
  <div class="column">foõ</div>
  <div class="column">foõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõ</div>
</div>

As you can see the last column adjusts its width to accomodate the text. I'd like every column to have an equal width and to just break mid-word onto the next line.

I tried flex-basis: 0 and word-wrap: break-word;, but it doesn't seem to affect it.

There were few mistakes that I have corrected.

Fixed the flex properties in the column divs.
Use word-break:break- word

Below is the working code.

.container {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100vh;
}

.column {
  flex-grow: 1;
  flex-basis: 0;
  background: red;
  margin: 0 4px;
  height: 100%;
  word-break: break-word;
}

<div class="container">
  <div class="column">foõ foõ foõ foõ foõ foõ</div>
  <div class="column">foõ</div>
  <div class="column">foõ</div>
  <div class="column">foõ</div>
  <div class="column">foõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõfoõ</div>
</div>
