You might want to try the diff-refine-hunk command, or to set diff-auto-refine-mode to t. I wrote this while working on LaTeX documents where diffs tend to be difficult to read because of all the refilling. It won't "simplify" the diff in any sense, but it will highlight the words that have been added/changed/removed which is not bad. Of course, ediff gives you similar results, so if you like ediff's interface that's another option (I personally find ediff a bit too heavyweight, so I only use it for particular circumstances, but otherwise prefer smerge-mode and diff-mode to look at changes and handle merges).
