This is in the spirit of the What is a Word/Phrase™ series started by JLee with a special brand of Phrase™ and Word™ puzzles.
If a word conforms to a special rule, I call it an Unlucky Word™.
Use the examples below to find the rule.

% increase Pad value only if your entries are longer than the title bar.

The puzzle satisfies the series' inbuilt assumption, that each word can be tested for whether it is an Unlucky Word™ without relying on the other words.
These are not the only examples of Unlucky Words™, some more exist.
What is the special rule these words conform to?
Why are they called Unlucky and Unluckiest Words™?

Unlucky Words™ are ones which
When rot13 translated, produce another word.
The below shows the words
with the rot13 cipher applied:
ENVY,GENVA
SHE,JBBY
IRK,NAABL
BALK,OYNPX
SYNC,JNIR
FLAP,QNGN
BAR,HAVG
ONYX,ERFVFG
NEG,AVPR
RAIL,FCVGR
EBBS,SYBBE
ABJURER,FVYRAPR
They are called this as 13 is often considered unlucky, and the longest word of this type is abjurer.
