    I think we're quite used to recongizing words by their fisrt and last letter which is why you may not have even noticed the intetnional typos in this sentence. "city" is also the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the question. Even though it's ostensibly the same puzzle and the same "search space", I think if you were to come up with a puzzle which reverses the schema so that the outside letters have to match (and be guessed at the end) it would be significantly more difficult.
