STIFF
noun /stɪf/
The Word, Explained
An average person, usually male, of no particular distinction, skill, or education, often a working stiff or lucky stiff.
"A Working Stiff's Manifesto: A Memoir of Thirty Jobs I Quit, Nine That Fired Me, and Three I Can't Remember was published in 2003."
Tricky because the repeated F trips up guesses that assume five unique letters, and with a single vowel, early guesses reveal little.
