In the spirit of the What is a Word™/Phrase™ series started by JLee, a special brand of Phrase™ and Word™ puzzles.





If a word conforms to a special rule, I call it a Workman Word™.

Use the examples below to find the rule.



$$
% set Title text. (spaces around the text ARE important; do not remove.)
% increase Pad value only if your entries are longer than the title bar.
%
defPad{P{0.0}} defTitle{textbf{ Workman }}
%
defS#1#2{Space{#1}{20px}{#2px}}defP#1{V{#1em}} defV#1{S{#1}{9}}
defT{Titletextbf{Words }^™Pad}defNT{Padtextbf{Not}T }displaystyle
smash{lower{29px}bbox[yellow]{phantom{rlap{rubio.2017.02.04}S{6px}{0}

text{ ENJOY}&text{ LIFE}\ hline
text{ INVOKE}&text{ SPELL}\ hline

end{array}$$

LONE,WOLF
FUEL,TANK
PEE,URINE
FUNNY,JOKE
CONVEYING,FEELINGS
THRASH,BIN
ENJOY,LIFE
INVOKE,SPELL
STRAW,LAST

These are not the only examples of Workman Words™; many more exist.



What is the special rule these words conform to?
