In WPF, long word doesn't wrap in the first line if there's some text before it

Question

I'm having trouble with wrapping some text in a TextBox in WPF.
Let's say I have following text "Here is some VeryLongTextThatHasToBeWrapped and so on".

<TextBox Text="Here is some VeryLongTextThatHasToBeWrapped and so on" TextWrapping="Wrap" MaxWidth="70" Height="150"/>

I'd expect that text would wrap in the first line as it doesn't fit in the TextBox. Like here:
Expected wrapping

However wrapping happens on the next line, so I have unused space and the whole text does't fit in the TextBlock. Like here:
Actual wrapping

I tried to play with Width and Height , tried to set TextWrapping to WrapWithOverflow .
Also, I played aroud with Run elements with InlineUIContainer with no luck.

Still can't get the desired result.
Is there any way to "force" wrapping to break a word as soon a possible instead of giving it maximum possible space and then breaking it?

You can consider string as array of chars and present it in an ItemsControl, where you set ItemsPanel to WrapPanel, of course it's then not editable.

<ItemsControl ItemsSource="Here is some VeryLongTextThatHasToBeWrapped and so on" MaxWidth="70">
    <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <WrapPanel/>
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
</ItemsControl>
