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 Spaceman Word™.
Use the following examples below to find the rule.
Spaceman Words™ | Not Spaceman Words™ |
---|---|
FAMILY | FRIENDS |
TABARD | TUNIC |
TAIPAN | MOGUL |
CLAVUS | CALLUS |
CEILIDH | SHINDIG |
REMORSE | REGRET |
DEMOLISH | ESTABLISH |
COBALAMIN | RIBOFLAVIN |
REBUKABLE | COMMENDABLE |
UNREBUKED | DISCIPLINED |
In case you want it in CSV:

The puzzle satisfies the series' inbuilt assumption, that each word can be tested for whether it is a Spaceman Word™ without relying on the other words.
These are not the only examples of Spaceman Words™; many more exist.
