This is an easy one to get. When you start up the game, just pick the Easy 9x9 grid. After the game starts, just right click all the boxes once to place a flag on them. Bada-bing-bada-boom, you got 5 GS!

You can just quit the game after that. No need to go back through and un-click the flags.

What a stupid achievement...

I know. This game has a lot of them, especially with the DLC.

So basically, if you got this achievement naturally, you'd be a complete moron.

Very simple achievement, from the main menu choose the Easy 9x9 puzzle and flag all 81 tiles.

There are two controls settings for this game:
Mouse - To place a flag with a mouse right click on a square.
Touch - To place a flag with touch controls, place and hold your finger on a square.

When complete your grid puzzle should look like this

This achievement is kinda buggy. I never saw the achievement "unlock" from within Windows 8, but apparently it did register with Xbox Live. After you complete the board, if it didn't pop for you, try closing the game and re-opening it to see if you really did unlock it.

I had the same as Cecil Kilmer, no notification in game but the achievement did register with Xbox Live.

To speed up this a bit on a touch based device there is a setting to set the time needed to hold the finger.

Although it's way too easy, the achievement bugged for me. I had to restart the entire game and no 'Achievement Unlocked' notification was shown. When I restarted, the achievement just appeared in the achievements section. :)
