flukier
Less skill, more chance
Flukier is the comparative form of fluky (also spelled flukey), meaning more dependent on luck or chance rather than skill.
Something flukier than another thing happened even more accidentally or unexpectedly.
His second hole-in-one was even flukier than the first—the ball bounced off a sprinkler head.
The word carries a dismissive tone, suggesting the outcome wasn't truly earned.
