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.

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.

@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.
