If I am reading the description right, we have a 128-bit MD5 hash that is created from 7 lowercase ascii letters. The challenge gives us 64 bits. Am I correct to assume that each byte lost either its 4 MSBs or its 4 LSBs?
Is it just any 4 bit indexes that are being omitted per byte?
Or is it really random, in the sense that any 64 bit indexes out of the entire 128 bit hash were omitted?

This is correct.
A Nibble of a byte is usually the contiguous 4 high or 4 low bits
