I like thematic Wordle plays, where the first 2 or 3 guesses are thematically related. It certainly helps for the 2 words to be mostly-distinct, still, but I feel you can enjoy the math of the pattern matching along with a small bit of word play. Anyways:

  1. LUNAR DEITY (my go-to)

  2. LEMON SUGAR

  3. MOUSE RANCH

  4. MOUSE PINKY & MOUSE BRAIN

  5. AUDIO RHYME

  6. MAINE TOURS (sadly Wordle does not accept MAINE, yet)

  7. BLIMP HASTE & HASTY BLIMP

  8. BOGUS EMAIL

  9. FRESH AUDIO

  10. VIDEO TRASH

I think it’s fully within “the rules” for Wordle to change the wordlist, adds/deletes/anything. So I’m a bit open-minded about the boundary of the Wordle word set (for some not-quite-right definition of “open set” :P).

I don’t expect AOEUI DHTNS to hit the word list any time soon, of course, but MAINE seems fine, right?
