Note
The top of the scale for every meaning wide carries, not only the physical one. The form adds just -st because wide already ends in e, and like most short adjectives it takes the inflected ending rather than most. Beyond side-to-side measure, the widest scope or reading of a rule is its largest, and in sport a delivery or shot can fall widest of the mark, furthest off target.
