    grid-template-columns: auto auto auto;
    padding: 4px;
    background-color: indianred;
}

.grid-item {
    background-color: powderblue;
    border: 4px solid indianred;

<div class="grid-container">
    <div class="grid-item">1</div>
    <div class="grid-item">2 abcdefghijklmnop</div>
    <div class="grid-item">3</div>
    <div class="grid-item">4</div>
    <div class="grid-item">5</div>
    <div class="grid-item">6</div>
</div>

Example 5

Similar to previous except columns set to 20%, 60%, 20% and set overflow-y:scroll. Not sure why column 2 doesn't expand to accomodate text and then make columns 1 & 3 20% of its size.
