Fit a word into an alphabet grid

Inspired by a meme I saw earlier today.

Challenge description

Consider an infinite alphabet grid:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
...

Take a word (CODEGOLF in this example) and make it a subsequence of the grid, replacing unused letters by a space and removing letters at the end of the infinite grid altogether:

 C O 
 DE G O 
 L 
 F

Examples

Notes

Trailing whitespaces are allowed.
You don't need to pad ~~(削除) the last (削除ここまで)~~ any line with spaces. For example, if the input is ABC, you may output just ABC without 23 trailing spaces.
You may assume input will match [A-Z]+ regex.
Alternatively, you may use lower-case alphabet, in which case output will match [a-z]+.
You must use a newline (\n, \r\n or equivalent) to separate lines, that is a list of strings is not a proper output format.
This is a code-golf challenge, so make your code as short as possible!

Answer*

If this is an answer to a challenge…

…Be sure to follow the challenge specification. However, please refrain from exploiting obvious loopholes. Answers abusing any of the standard loopholes are considered invalid. If you think a specification is unclear or underspecified, comment on the question instead.
…Try to optimize your score. For instance, answers to code-golf challenges should attempt to be as short as possible. You can always include a readable version of the code in addition to the competitive one. Explanations of your answer make it more interesting to read and are very much encouraged.
…Include a short header which indicates the language(s) of your code and its score, as defined by the challenge.

More generally…

…Please make sure to answer the question and provide sufficient detail.
…Avoid asking for help, clarification or responding to other answers (use comments instead).

How to Format

create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~
```
like so
```
add language identifier to highlight code
```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
```
put returns between paragraphs
for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
_italic_ or **bold**
indent code by 4 spaces
backtick escapes `like _so_`
quote by placing > at start of line
to make links (use https whenever possible)

How to Tag

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.

complete the sentence: my question is about...
use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
favor using existing popular tags
read the descriptions that appear below the tag

If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:

combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. code-golf), up to a maximum of 35 characters
creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
