Validate dynamic (Span tag) Text using selenium Java

Question

I need help with writing a logic to validate a dynamic text, below tag is having text which would be changing constantly( to 6 unique words), i need to validate if those 6 unique words are same as expected text. is there a way to validate that.

Note - words are created in incremental way eg - a, ap, app, appl, apple

Dynamic text Html

Use //span[@class='search-placeholder'] by xpath then .getText(). I'm not sure how it's changing it's values. — Arundeep Chohan

If you know the interval of change, you can simply collect texts after sleeps or waits into list of strings. — pburgr

@ArundeepChohan, //span[@class='search-placeholder'] by xpath then .getText() will get text at that point of time, for example when page is loaded text will be app but that wont be complete word — Muthu Akilan

public static List<String> getDynamicText(WebDriver driver, By by, int intervalInMiliseconds, int iteration) throws InterruptedException {
    List<String> collectedTexts = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (int i = 1; i <= iteration; i++) {
        collectedTexts.add(driver.findElement(by).getText());
        Thread.sleep(intervalInMiliseconds);
    }
    return collectedTexts;
}

combine with Compare two ArrayList of String for values inside it in Java Selenium
