Or he may have been spelling 'wider' chaotically.

I always thought the rule was
I before e except after c or if sounding like a as in neighbor and weigh...

I have never learned this rule, but I googled it, and you are right:

"Write I before E
Except after C
Or when it sounds like an A
As in 'neighbor' and 'weigh'"

So adramforall is right that there is an invisible 'c' after the 'w', but his conclusion is wrong. 😉
