Why this is the answer (spoilers)
The answer is BUTTON, a small fastener on clothes, or something you press. Alphabetically it lands between the day's two bounds: BICYCLE comes first (they share B..., then "I" comes before "U"), and CHEF comes after it ("B" comes before "C"). Because the two bounds are shown from the start, the challenge is judging alphabetical position, not recalling the word itself. Guessing a word near the middle of the two bounds first pays off, because the distance number then tells you which half to work in. Common everyday words like this one are the norm for Middle Word, so there is no need to reach for rare vocabulary.
