This is in the spirit of the What is a Word/Phrase™ series started by JLee with a special brand of Phrase™ and Word™ puzzles.

If a word conforms to a special rule, I call it a NaturaW Word™.
Use the following examples below to find the rule.

NaturaW Words™ Not NaturaW Words™
ACID SWEET
HIGH LOW
DICE ROLL
CRY LAUGH
DOES DONE
EDGE SIDE
FAX PHONE
BIRDED BIRDING
WEB LINE
BIG SMALL

And, if you want to analyze, here is a CSV version:

NaturaW Words™,Not NaturaW Words™
ACID,SWEET
HIGH,LOW
DICE,ROLL
CRY,LAUGH
DOES,DONE
EDGE,SIDE
FAX,PHONE
BIRDED,BIRDING
WEB,LINE
BIG,SMALL

Hint 1:

W = 10K

Considering hints:

Seems like words written as numbers (A=1, B=2, etc.) appears in first 10000 digits of Euler's number (Hint 1).
I checked it here
So words as numbers that are there: 1394, 8978, 4935, 31825, 415519, 5475, 6124, 2918454, 2352, 297 (BIRDED is in link as "291845 4", notice space)
And that are not there: 19235520, 121523, 18151212, 1212178, 415145, 19945, 16815145, 291849147, 129145, 191311212
Hint "log" and Name "natura" means Natural logarithm which has base of Euler's number
