Word list sequence puzzle

Question

I found this list of words by a Scot Morris from an old Omni magazine and I can't find the solution. What is the logic of these words (one for each letter of the alphabet) and (the order is important):

A) schwa

B) splat

C) three

D) grist

E) chore

F) flour

G) sceau

H) filch

I) rinse

J) games

K) canoe

L) reach

M) moire

N) beaux

O) queue

P) angst

Q) intro

R) aster

S) achoo

T) exist

U) awake

V) about

W) adieu

X) eight

Y) outdo

Z) oiled

Answer 1

One interesting thing is that

If you replace the consonants by 0 and the vowels by 1, you get the binary representation of the numbers 1 to 26 in order.

So perhaps that is the logic to the sequence
