broad and wide

[**C@RL$$**]

could you explain whats the different between "broad and wide""

[curmudgeon]

There is little difference they are synonyms/

Although you are more likely to be 'wide' awake and looking out your window in 'broad' daylight, than the other way round.

You'll see some of the case where both can be used and others where only one collocates.
