I will not hold this interpretation to be sound doctrine from the Bible,
as that plays only to distract from His message in a lost world,
but as a commentary opinion …

Words(in whatever form) are how humans communicate.
The “Word” (KJV uses caps to identify a Personification i.e., relationship) is used to identify the personification of God as the creator of communication and the ultimate Communicator. It serves me well to listen to Him above all others.

I have no religion, except to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction,
but I have a close personal relationship with the Word.

My best to you, which ain't nearly enough.
