loser

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'she doesn't win' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'different roles' is the wordplay.
'different' indicates anagramming the letters (letters placed in a different order).
'roles' anagrammed gives 'LOSER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for loser that I've seen before include "Unsuccessful type" , "Defeated contestant" , "Defeated competitor" , "One not winning" , "Failed competitor" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
