How to hide text in navbar elements on different screen size Bootstrap 4

How do I hide elements of a navbar in bootstrap inline rather than creating a new element for each screen size. I tried using a span but that just causes the line to wrap.

<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light">
  <a class="navbar-brand" href="index.html">Alliteration App<span class="d-none d-sm-block">lication</span>s</a>
  <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
                <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
            </button>

  <div class="collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-center" id="navbarSupportedContent">
    <ul class="navbar-nav">
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link" href="definition.html">Definition</a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link" href="part-of-speech.html">By Parts of Speech</a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item" active>
        <a class="nav-link" href="sentence.html">Sentence Supplier <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link" href="synonym.html">Synonym Seeker</a>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </div>

</nav>

The example below is the only solution I have found to hide and show based on screen size. But I do not like the code it looks a little messy

Answer

in your first solution, reason the line’s wrapped is because you’re using d-sm-block, I believe d-sm-inline does the job.
