I have never been able to memorize what CBSIFTCBE is supposed to mean
and a written checklist seems a perfect way for the pre-takeoff check
to be made.

(W)USTALL might have a couple of redundant checks, but it's short and
easy to remember.

Funny, cuz I have no clue what (W)USTALL stands for.

Wind
Undercarriage
Speed
Trim
Airbrakes
Lookout
Land

Speed, trim, and lookout are things you should have been doing all your
flight. Not clear why you need to be reminded of them when you are
landing.

If you are in the pattern and forget about the "airbrakes" or "land"
part, you should have stayed in bed that day!

That leaves wind and the wheel, and water also could be added. Maybe
also an announcement of your intentions on the radio.
