- I am using the US word list here, acceptable in the US, Canada and Thailand.
- See the International version instead.
Here I am pulling apart the set of acceptable two-letter words in Scrabble, and using MnemonicFinder to make them easier to memorise.

Extract a list of letters to memorise for every vowel prefix / vowel suffix.
a : bdghlmnrstwxy

o : dfhmnprswxy
u : hmnpst
zytpnmklfbh : a
ywrpnmhfbd : e
xtsqpmlkhb : i
bywtsndghjlm : o
mnx : u
These words just needs to be memorised; there's nothing to extract.

Using the MnemonicFinder to find a suitable mnemonic containing all of the correct consonants for each vowel.
a : birthdays mangle wax
e : tax his farmland
i : infested
o : dwarf axe symphony
u : phantoms
fly beneath kamikaze pilot : a
whip my boyfriend : e
make equal shape toolbox : i
he twangs a banjo melody : o
x-men : u
It is tough to think of a suitable mnemonic here. They are easier to memorise in groups:
mm hm
by my
sh
I can't think of a mnemonic for these; just learn them!
