scrabbler

One who claws

A scrabbler is someone who scrapes, scratches, or scrambles—usually with effort and without elegance.

The word often describes someone struggling to get by or clawing their way forward: He was a scrabbler, always hustling for the next opportunity.

A scrabbler may also be someone who plays the board game Scrabble.
