unfittest

Most poorly suited

Unfittest is the superlative form of unfit, describing whatever is least suitable, least qualified, or in the worst physical condition among a group.

Darwin's phrase "survival of the fittest" has made unfittest a natural way to characterize those least adapted to their environment or circumstances.

The unfittest candidates were eliminated in the first round.

It applies equally to physical fitness and to suitability for a role or purpose.
