How would you form a superlative for the adverb widely?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because "widely" is an adverb, not an adjective like "heavy". Even among adjectives, generally only those of Anglo-Saxon (and not French, etc) can form the superlative with -est. A good rule of thumb is to form the superlative with -est only with adjectives with two syllables or fewer.
