Rules
1. A maximum of 9 incorrect guesses.
2. Updates must be posted within 24 hours of each other, and will occur in sets of 2, except for the final 2 guesses, which will be updated individually. An update must also occur after each word guess.
3. Any letters guessed after the conditions for an update set out in rule 2 have been met, but before the actual update, will be ignored, and will not carry over to the next set of guesses.
4. You can only pick one letter for every two consecutive sets of guesses.
5. Guesses cannot be changed after being posted.
6. You can guess the word at any time, subject to the qualification in rule 7, but guessing incorrectly eliminates you from play.
7. If you make a letter guess you may not make a word guess before an update has occured. The converse also applies as a consequence of rule 2.
8. Incorrect word guesses also count as losing a life.
9. Words must be 5 or more letters. If the word is exactly 5 letters and the last letter is S, the first four letters must not make a standard english word.
10. Words must be standard english, and cannot be proper nouns.

I looked on dictionary.com and while I found "fixer" the word "informal" is used in one of the definitions.
What kind of word is "fixer" and how would I use it in a sentence 
The only example I can ever remember someone using is when speaking of buying a second hand house that needs work "It's a fixer-upper" but that is clearly slang.
