  );
  background-size: auto auto;
  background-clip: border-box;
  background-size: 200% auto;
  color: #fff;
  background-clip: text;
  text-fill-color: transparent;
  -webkit-background-clip: text;
  -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
  animation: textchange 2s linear infinite;
  display: inline-block;
}

@keyframes textchange {
  to {
    background-position: 200% center;
  }
}
