You could scrape an online dictionary to obtain the syllabification for each given word.

For example, if you investigate https://www.dictionary.com/browse/syllabification <https://www.dictionary.com/browse/syllabification>, you can find the query that yielded "syl·lab·i·fi·ca·tion."

You might find other dictionaries that make it easier.
