Quoting from OUP blog (+):
As noted above, sure and sugar are such conspicuous monsters because
word initially su– designates sh only in those two words.
According to oxforddictionaries.com website (+), word-initially is an adverb. However, it seems to me that an adjective is the right choice to modify the noun su- in the above-mentioned sentence. Is that correct?

Regarding the adj/adv. distinction, here is another, though different, question (also by me!): Unusual or Unusually? on ES with a good answer in the comments.

“Word initially” functions as an adverb modifying the following clause. It is no incorrect to use an adverb here (although I guess it might be possible to punctuate it differently).
