So, I have a couple of cards I’ve created. My issue with the cards is that when one title of a card content is longer than the other cards, I want to know if it’s possible for text description of the other cards to adapt / move to the same level as the card with the longer title text.

I know my explanation doesn’t make sense, but check out the images and code, you’ll understand much better.

          </div>
          <h3 class="card-header">

With the way you have ordered the HTML (which I agree with as it groups the cards together perfectly), I don’t think it’s possible…

Instead you could iterate through the card-header elements to find which is the tallest and then set the min-height style on each element.

Of course this comes with the side-effect of being not very good on narrow screens, so you may wish to only execute this if the screen is a Table/Desktop device. And also have CSS media breakpoints for making the Cards fill up the screen width on narrow devices.

const headers = document.getElementsByClassName("card-header");

let tallestHeader = null

Array.from(headers).forEach((elem) => {
  // console.log(elem);
  tallestHeader = Math.max(tallestHeader, elem.offsetHeight);
});

// console.log(tallestHeader);

Array.from(headers).forEach((elem) => {
  elem.style.minHeight = `${tallestHeader}px`;
});

.card-container {
  display: flex;
  gap: 1rem;
}

.card {
  background-color: #fff;
  padding: 1.5rem;
  border-radius: 5px;
  box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}

.card-header {
  font-size: 1.2rem;
  font-weight: bold;
  margin-bottom: 0.5rem;
}

.name {
  font-size: 2rem;
}

.card img {
  width: 100%;

You need to use JavaScript to check all card-header element heights and then adjust the height of all card-header elements to the highest one.

See the snippet below.

const cardHeaders = document.querySelectorAll('.card-header');
let maxHeight = 0;

cardHeaders.forEach(cardHeader => {
  const height = cardHeader.offsetHeight;
  maxHeight = Math.max(maxHeight, height);
});

cardHeaders.forEach(cardHeader => {
  cardHeader.style.height = `${maxHeight}px`;
});

.card-container {
  display: flex;
  gap: 1rem;
}

.card {
  flex: 1 0 calc(33.33% - 5rem);
  background-color: #fff;
  padding: 1.5rem;
  border-radius: 5px;
  box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}

.card-header {
  font-size: 1.2rem;
  font-weight: bold;
  margin-bottom: 0.5rem;
}

.name {
  font-size: 2rem;
}

.card img {
  width: 100%;
  max-height: 150px;
  object-fit: cover;
}

I am not sure to understand your question.
You want to set the height of the card-header class dynamically to the height of the greatest card-header element?

You can do it with flex-grow.

Here is the CSS:
```
.card-content
{
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    height: 100%;
}
.card-header {
  font-size: 1.2rem;
  font-weight: bold;
  margin-bottom: 0.5rem;
  flex-grow: 1;
}
```
As u can see, the card-content class is now also a flex-box with 100% of height, and the card-header get the flex-grow.

Hope this will help.

I hope this fixes your issue. (Note that I made some changes to your DOM and styles. Please observe.)

.card-container {
    display: flex;
    gap: 1rem;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    justify-content: space-between;
}

.card-header {
    font-size: 1.2rem;
    font-weight: bold;
    margin-bottom: 0.5rem;
    flex: 2;
}

.name {
    font-size: 2rem;
}

.card img {
    width: 100%;
}

.card-content {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    width: calc((100% / 3) - 2rem);
}

.card-content__img {
    display: flex;
