In most cases if you need a short list it's better to use something like the diceware or EFF lists than to make your own from scratch.


Or use the BIP39 lists since they also encode 2048 bits. If you just use BIP39 you also get a checksum. RFC 1751[1] is the "standardised" option but IMHO the wordlist they use is far too easy to misread (though this is because the words are all less than 4 characters).
