It gone because if mixing wallet mnemonic seed and many random words which are not wallet mnemonic seed words.

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, but nope, OP said that it's all words from mnemonic wordlist. He basically failed to document his own obfuscation or correct pattern how to find his mnemonic wallet recovery words in his grid of words.

Maybe his recovery words are at prime number positions in his extended list of words or something similar, like jumping like a chess bishop on a grid of words. Possibilities are vast and I always wonder why people invent something but fail to document it. Because one thing is for sure: you will forget whatever you invented when you don't use or repeat it regularly.

Loss due to complexity / not being able to restore from backup

Complex your wallet back up will not make your back up safer but more risk of failure in recovery later.

Not much to add to this. Add complexity and/or obscurity and fail to document it for you or your heirs and you have a recipe for desaster and loss.

Whatever you do, you should verify if you can successfully recover your wallet(s). If you have your non-standard procedure(s) only in your head, it's almost guaranteed you will forget something and shoot yourself in your foot. Don't do this, apply KISS principles!

I have about 30-50 seedphrase words here

What an odd way to describe how many words you have.

Indeed, I would think it should be possible to count the words and tell the exact number. Not that it would make much of a difference. Without any clues, you can't really brute-force this. You don't have the time and/or the energy to exhaust the search space.

I also had another method of storing Bitcoin back then, as you can read here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5523791.0). I don't quite know if the seed I found leads to this wallet or another one, but I know all my addresses and any of them is a win.

I don't really remember what I was thinking exactly to invent this kind of puzzle but at that point I found it quite fascinating that there are so many individual ways to store Bitcoin, a bit adventurous.

I have a few questions.

How many words do you have written on the paper. Please count them. Is it 30? Is it 50? Is it some other number?
Is there any pattern to how they are written? Alphabetical? Length (number of letters)? Vertical list? Horizontal, comma separated? Around the circumfrence of a circle? Something else?
How many bitcoins will you gain access to once you solve this puzzle?
Do you have/know any of the Bitcoin addresses associated with the puzzle?
How much did you pay to purchase this puzzle? Where did you buy it? How did the seller contact you

I have 50 words.
These words are not written in any particular pattern, but I have highlighted some of them with a pencil. But the marked words are more than 24, so it doesn't make sense and I can't imagine that I thought it made sense at the time, it wouldn't be a puzzle. If I remember correctly, the seed only consists of 12 words.
I have several addresses and I don't know which address this puzzle leads to but I have an overview of all my addresses from that time. Each address holds enough Bitcoin to make you tear your hair out.
I didn't buy this puzzle, I made it myself on a piece of quality paper using my own pattern and wrote a card to solve it, somehow like this.
Now I only have the part that contains the words, without knowing the pattern to read the valid words.
