Why this is the answer (spoilers)
The answer is CAKE, a sweet baked dessert for birthdays and celebrations. Alphabetically it lands between the day's two bounds: BIRD comes first ("B" comes before "C"), and CHIP comes after it (they share C..., then "A" comes before "H"). Because the two bounds are shown from the start, the challenge is judging alphabetical position, not recalling the word itself. If the distance says only a handful of words remain, list the letters between your guess and the answer and try each starting letter in turn. Common everyday words like this one are the norm for Middle Word, so there is no need to reach for rare vocabulary.
