Genuinely curious, why would you use SERAI rather than ARISE? Functionally equivalent, doesn't seem like a made-up word, and might actually be the answer one day.
As CrazyStat hints, anagrams are not equivalent in Wordle, because changing the word order means that you're also changing the bucketing, the words in the anagram shifting between yellow and green.
To be more specific, I counted 882 possible words in the worst case using ARISE, versus 697 using SERAI.
S is very common as the first letter, so having it in that position gives you more information than having it in fourth position (due to higher probability of green).
