Puzzle Seed
Every single puzzle done in "INFINITE" mode counts towards the "60 down 999,999,940 to go" achievement, regardless of whether it has already been solved before. So the fastest way to get the achievement is to do random puzzles until you come across a super easy one, and then just solve it over and over. I came across such a puzzle, which I was able to eventually solve in just 20 seconds with a few rounds of practice (I went for a no-mistakes approach to make the monotony more fun):


The seed for this puzzle is 52530353 (< copy the text and use the "PASTE FROM CLIP BOARD" menu option for ease):


The puzzle requires you to place 36 blue hexes and the hints that get uncovered as the puzzle progresses are very obvious. For the lazy, here's the puzzle and its solution:



Once the puzzle has been solved, just click "RETRY" and do it again and again. There's no need to go back to the menu and re-enter the seed:


After a few rounds, you should have the puzzle almost memorized and as you can see, I was able to get the solve time as low as 20 seconds even, but more consistently in the mid-20s. And that's it! If the main game was enough for you and this achievement seems more like a chore but you really want that 100%, this is the fastest, easiest way without doing some cheesy auto-clicker tactic. Enjoy!

Why to cheat? I don't get it. If you like the game just play a few levels once in a while - and you'll get it in some time.

My infinite counter has been on -1 since I started the infinite puzzles. Could someone tell me why this is and how to fix it as i do not know how many puzzles I have completed and I am unable to get the final achievement. Thank you in advance.

@Nimish I guess if "you really want that 100%" applies. Each to their I own I guess. Personally I am still wondering why would anyone do this, but it would be a dull world if we were all the same and everybody plays games differently. I do see players who strive for achievements or trading cards all the time and I do wonder why. Just not how I roll I guess. Still, kudos to you for doing your thing.

Thought this was a brilliant April Fool at first. Then checked the date of original posting. Which begs the question. Why? What is the point of this? Unless it is just a non-April Fools windup just for the laughs.
