Googling will give you countless lists. The internet solved that problem decades ago.
The biggest problem is when your guessing dictionary contains words that aren’t in the acceptable word list in Wordle. For that, I generate 10 guesses on each turn. At least one of them should show up. I didn’t want to use Wordle’s dictionary because that felt like cheating.

That's not a solution when the definitive lists all differ. English is a high context language, so the existence of words is both a function of frequency and locality (this includes time periods). Deciding on what's the canonical list isn't "look up what Wordle uses" anymore than Webster or Oxford. That's the problem I'm referencing.
