Answer 13  is to guess grave #26 (coming from 12) based on: 

• The reverse of 33 states 'Little Leaves Nothing'
• The grass in 12 are 'little leaves' being referred to as 'nothing', as opposed to something small leaving behind nothing.

Design Choices: For the grass, I liked the idea of a clearing; a notable absence that stands out from the other cards. I didn't want it to be a free square, and wanted to base a puzzle on it. I could have made it a full-art card like a few others, but didn't have to. For the quote on 26, It is similar, but not exactly, the ashes to ashes, dust to dust saying, but what might be a negative twist. This ensures familiarity, but one step away from basing the game entirely on biblical quotes and Christian symbology. 

Puzzle wise, It was taking reverse-text from a previous card and applying it to a puzzle later on, and I think this is the first use of that.

Level of success/other graves that were guessed:

One player missed choosing 33, and told me he was thinking of a few other things, such as someone who went missing (John Doe in 16) or the one who couldn't afford a certain plot (grave 7), or the blank headstone in 19. He thought it was very obvious after seeing the answer, but these other observations are great, and connections I hadn't even thought of!
