Why this is the answer (spoilers)
The answer is COUNTRY, a nation with its own government and borders. Alphabetically it lands between the day's two bounds: COAT comes first (they share CO..., then "A" comes before "U"), and DELIVER comes after it ("C" comes before "D"). 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.
