Answer 1

Flexbox won't really work because the title must be centered within the entire header—not in the remaining space between the left and right items. Still, you can use flexbox to pin the left/right items to their respective corners. For the title, use absolute positioning within a relative container (the header).

header {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  position: relative;
  background-color: #333;
  color: #fdfdfd;
  padding: 0.5rem;
}

.title {
  position: absolute;
  left: 50%;
  transform: transalteX(-50%); 
}

<header>
  <div class="left">
    <span>item</span>
    <span>longer item here</span>    
  </div>
  <div class="title">title</div>
  <div class="right">
    <span>item</span>
    <span>item</span>    
  </div>
</header>
