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.
%
defPadP0.0 defTitletextbf Workman

text THRASH&text BIN\ hline
text ENJOY&text LIFE\ hline
text INVOKE&text SPELL\ hline
text STRAW&text LAST\ hline

endarray$$

The CSV version:

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

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

What is the special rule these words conform to?

Did you mean to leave the hint blank? It would be better not to put the hint in that case, because people will be unable to see whether you add a hint without mousing over it each time. That is a cognitively bad habit.

Unless an empty hint is in itself a hint?

@NicHartley; like what it says here: with the records divided into fields separated by delimiters (typically a single reserved character such as comma, semicolon, or tab; sometimes the delimiter may include optional spaces),?

I believe...

They're words that can be typed on keys touching one another in a Workman keyboard layout (Pic from Wikipedia):

In contrast, all the non-Workman words don't form an unbroken line on it.
