Almost a Mirror

The picky mirror accepts words that ARE mirrors — and grudgingly, words that would be if you deleted exactly one letter. 🥈

You get a word. Print mirror, almost (one deletion fixes it), or not even close. Hint: write a helper that mirror-checks any piece, and call it after skipping the troublemaker.

Example:

Input: word = "abca" Output: almost

Comparing ends, a = a matches, then b vs c mismatches. Deleting c leaves "aba", which IS a mirror — one deletion fixes it.
