Why this is the answer (spoilers)
The answer is CITY, a large, densely populated town. Alphabetically it lands between the day's two bounds: CARE comes first (they share C..., then "A" comes before "I"), and CORD comes after it (they share C..., then "I" comes before "O"). Because the two bounds are shown from the start, the challenge is judging alphabetical position, not recalling the word itself. The game tells you how many dictionary words sit between your guess and the answer, so each wrong guess still narrows the alphabetical range. Common everyday words like this one are the norm for Middle Word, so there is no need to reach for rare vocabulary.
