How to unlock the Go for the Silver achievement

    To get a silver medal for a month you need to complete approximately a full weeks worth of challenges.

    For tips on completing challenges, refer to my guide for the Perfection achievement:

    This achievement was bugged prior to the end of May 2017: silver medals were being counted as bronze medals. The fix was not retroactive. As such, assuming a player got the silver medal in May after the bug fix, the earliest this achievement can be unlocked is March 2018.

    Espio IdsavantThey just patched it a few days ago - my stats didn't get fixed (I'm still at 2 gold, 0 silver, 4 bronze) ... but I also had already gotten the gold medal for the month before it was fixed. I'm waiting until next month to see if the count gets reset once I earn another silver medal to update solution as appropriate.

    SeapupAs of Version 3.0.60103.0, pushed out on Saturday, June 3, 2017, new silver medals are being awarded for this achievement (I earned one today). Unfortunately, this patch is not retroactive, as last month's silver medal still shows up under my bronze count.

    Espio IdsavantThanks for the confirmation Seapup, I've updated the solution.

    I found another way to get this quicker. Requires two Win10 devices. You basically use the second device to save the game just short of the medal. Then you overwrite the first device and repeat.

    Get to 4900 coins regularly through the challenges on device 1 (100 short of silver).
    Close Word on device 1
    Open Word on device 2 so the progress syncs. Play a play it now in one of the games to ensure it sticks.
    Close Word on device 2.
    Turn on airplane mode or disable wifi on device 2.
    Open word on device 1 and complete an easy challenge to get the silver medal.
    ***********************************************
    Check progress to ensure achievement counter has gone up by one.
    Close word on device one.
    Open word on device two.
    Since it is offline, it doesn't sync the progress for the daily challenge. Play a quick play in one of the games and finish it. This creates a newer local save than what is on the cloud.
    Close word on device two.
    Reconnect to internet on device two.
    Open word on device two. It will ask if you want to use the cloud save or the local save.
    Choose the local save (newer). You may get an error message, and also ask about signing into this device.
    Play a play it now in one of the games to ensure it updates.
    Close word on device two after 30 seconds to give it time to sync.
    Turn on airplane mode or disable wifi on device 2.
    Open word on device one and sync to the cloud save. It will overwrite the local save with the save that has 4900 coins.
    Complete a single easy challenge to get the silver medal.
    Repeat from the line of stars.

    I tried this on other Microsoft causal games (solitaire and mahjong) and the process does not work for those.

    Sky PonySo, the game has stopped tracking my progress on this achievement. In my statistics, it shows I have earned 10 silver and bronze medals. But the achievement progress bar for both is stuck at 8/10. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it didn't catch up. Does anyone have an answer for this?

    Edit: Ran an experiment. Got some stars in Wordament Adventure. It's not tracking those either.
