...and this, ladies and gentlemen, is why "security through obscurity" and attempting to do "clever things"™ when trying to secure your private keys is simply a "bad idea"™ 
As unfortunate as it is for OP, I hope that this might help persuade people who think that doing things like re-arranging 12/24 word seeds, or substituting words or using some other "clever" process to try an obfuscate their private keys/seeds etc is just not a great plan.
It should hopefully also act as a cautionary tale about leaving coins in wallets that you did not create yourself and/or have not "tested" the backup/recovery process.

At the end of it I had data. one of which said DO_NOT_DELETE_72aXXXX a 32 bit hex key another an image of a playing card which I think was the image to remember from the game.
when you say "32 bit hex key"... do you mean 32 characters? .... totally in agreement.... for what its worth, KISS! (keep it simple stupid), sorry yes 32 character hex!
