Yes: foam faun foes heap hear
No: fair goon goop geas goat

I guess "ends with a, e, m, n, p, r, s, x, or y".

I hereby add 'ring' to the yes list.
Counterexamples: fair (no), ring (yes)

That is a superset.

“Everything currently on the YES list, with zero or more vowels swapped out for other vowels”

“Nothing currently on the NO list, with zero or more vowels swapped out for other vowels”

[Unbitwise]

I think referring to the list is not very in the spirit of the thing (and you are supposed to only get one guess at a time) but okay.

“Everything currently on the YES list, with zero or more vowels swapped out for other vowels”

Yes: barren (merely not currently on the list)
No: loin (swapped from "loan")

“Nothing currently on the NO list, with zero or more vowels swapped out for other vowels”

Yes: coon (swapped from "coin")
No: incident (another arbitrary word)

"ends with any of aegmnprsxy"

[Lambda]

I vaguely suspect it might have something to do with ascenders and descenders, where a word is more likely to yes if its ascenders are on the left and its descenders are on the right.
