Margaret Thatcher's was a towering global figure who made a vast impact. Her reputation is widely immensely high.

Margaret Thatcher's was a towering global figure who made a vast impact. Her reputation is wildly immensely high.

I cannot make out the word on the radio. Is it "widely" or "wildly"?

Thanks!

Given that both sentences are quite unnatural and don't sound like they were created by a native speaker, it's hard to tell which one. I wouldn't expect to hear "wildly" in a news broadcast, particularly in a serious context so I imagine it's "widely". However, "widely immensely high" is terrible English, as are "Margaret Thatcher's was ..." and "vast impact".
