Can I pick my own secret word list for my Electrum wallet?

Can I make my own secret word list for my Electrum crypto wallet, or do I have to use the one the program makes? If I can make my own, how do I do it safely, and is it risky? Also, are Border Wallets better for this?

For Electrum, the crypto wallet requires a generated seed phrase to secure wallet creation; you can't use a custom list. Using a self-made list significantly increases the risk of losing funds, as it does not adhere to the BIP-39 entropy standards, which govern the generation of seed phrases.
Border wallets are not inherently safer for this. Prioritize Electrum's generated seed, store it securely, and avoid custom lists.
