TUNIC because it seemed like a good start word
 PANIC because A and it was the only other NIC word 
SONIC because oh of course that’s it
XENIC because panic is setting in 
IONIC yes I burned my 5th guess to see if it was I again 
CYNIC if I’d had another guess I probably would have tried CONIC before I saw it.

Reportedly there's a list of something like 13k words which are allowed as guesses, but the answers are drawn from a subset of common words (possibly chosen by the author's girlfriend).  There are 2315 words in this list.

never had to spell this word before... took me like an hour just staring at it after my 3rd guess, then just started putting letters in spots

Someone looked at the code on the page (pre-NYT) and apparently the list is ...just a list, generated by the guy and embedded in the page.

Yeah, not yet anyhow.  I imagine it won't use obscure "crossword-style" or Scrabble® words, but I haven't seen any info on how it generates the word of the day.  I assume it's a random, 5-letter-word generator and maybe they alter the word if it makes one that's too obscure.
*edit - They did use "ULTRA" a few days ago, which seems more like a prefix than a word - but it is a word.

The one thing that I have seen to this point in Wordle is that it has not used obscure 5 letter words. At least as long as I have been playing.

 ScottFromWyoming wrote:
Oddly, there are a lot of 5-letter words that end with those 3 letters - at least 10 of them.

Or a Xanax

Sheesh, I can't even find that many words for the pattern.

On guess 4 I was forced to try one that I doubted would be in the word list but I knew it was a valid scrabble word. And guess 5 repeated a letter that had been rejected earlier so I knew I was backing myself into a corner. By the 4th guess I was kind of amused and thinking "what if?" but no I hadn't actually figured it out until after #5, when I was faced with the obvious.

You should be given a medal to even find that many valid words (with the three ending letters nailed on the first guess) before finding the right one at 6.
