The Daedalus wordlist is defined in a different place, but that seems unrelated to the wordlist itself. They're both 2048 words and, on inspection, look identical.

<p>You can download this website to a folder <a href="https://iancoleman.io/bip39/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://iancoleman.io/bip39/</a>
and generate a BIP39 code on a clean computer not connected to the internet.</p>
<p>With that site, you can generate as much as you want.
or just buy a nano ledger x. Far easier.</p>

The [list of the word lists is included](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/bip-0039-wordlists.md) in BIP39, this is used directly in Yoroi as part of the [BIP39 JavaScript module](https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bip39/blob/d8ea080a18b40f301d4e2219a2991cd2417e83c2/util/wordlists.js#L37).

It appears, Daedalus is using [its own wordlist](https://github.com/input-output-hk/daedalus/blob/develop/source/common/config/crypto/valid-words.en.js).

**Having digital copies of your mnemonic set is always discouraged due to security issues.**

However, if you really want to give a digital copy of your recovery phrase to a person I'd personally suggest to take a picture of the recovery phrase, encrypt the picture, compress the encrypted picture and finally encrypt the compressed file again.
