So I definitely have the valid words, I just can't remember which ones they were.

If it's BIP39 seed phrase, have you checked those 30-50 words with BIP39 english word list on https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt?

With 30, that gives him 30!/(30-12)! =41,430,393,164,160,000 total permutations. If I followed your example correctly. Big difference depending on the exact number of words in his case, but still quite unlikely that it will be found this way.

The difference is big because it's like 60% of the original dataset.

I don't really know if it's unlikely, because doing time-related calculations is not my specialty. But, in my opinion it's worth knowing how many total arrangements of the words exist. Obviously the great majority of them isn't a valid seed phrase.

Now I'd be more interested to know if there is an open source tool for brute forcing the permutations? Something similar to the vanity address generator of the old days.

There are plenty of such tool, such as BTCRecover by 3rdIteration and FinderOuter by Coding Enthusiast. But none of them would help OP, due to high amount of permutation and limitation of today's hardware (even if we talk about multi GPU).
