Why this is the answer (spoilers)
The answer is WEEKEND, Saturday and Sunday. Alphabetically it lands between the day's two bounds: VASE comes first ("V" comes before "W"), and YOURSELF comes after it ("W" comes before "Y"). Because the two bounds are shown from the start, the challenge is judging alphabetical position, not recalling the word itself. Plural and -ed forms count as separate words in the distance number, so a plain dictionary form is usually the safer probe. Common everyday words like this one are the norm for Middle Word, so there is no need to reach for rare vocabulary.
