How to unlock the There Goes a Supernova achievement in Bejeweled Blitz LIVE - Definitive Guide
Very simple to do, must be done in twist mode with a specific screen layout. I will try to describe by showing pattern on screen where you have 3 colours labeled R, G and B and then any other colour besides these three, labeled O. Set up the following layout with the bottom line being at the bottom of the screen
O O R R O O
O O G G O O
O O B B O O
R R B G R R
Now twist the 4 in the middle clockwise, see below:
G G---------> B G
B B ---------> B G
and the two vertical 3s will dissappear causing the 2 'R's to cascade down and make a 6.
Since you can move gems wherever you like, it is rather straightforward, just watch out for unwanted cascades!
O O R R O O
O O G G O O
O O B B O O
R R B G R R
Now twist the 4 in the middle clockwise, see below:
G G---------> B G
B B ---------> B G
and the two vertical 3s will dissappear causing the 2 'R's to cascade down and make a 6.

I know there is a solution already but thought I would add this one up as an alternative 6 gem match construction. Basically I followed this pattern for the gem setup...
A
A - B
BB
A
A - C
CC
A
A
So you have 2 or 3 different gem colours allocated to A, B and C with any other gem filling in the gaps as long as they don't cause a stray match, B and C can be the same.
The idea is to then make a match so that the raised B and C drop into place matching them and causing the 6 A's to drop into place.
The achievement will unlock once the gem is used.

Thanks a million. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to do this. It took about 10 times and then my time was up before I could use my gem and I was SO mad, but thankfully everything explodes at the end after "time up" and it poped. :D

All these solutions are great but after about 100+ games of only getting 30,000 - 100,000 points I decided to check out the leaderboards replays. So this is what I found the best way to level up with 0 skill at all. First create 2 lightning gems and stack them on top of each other on the bottom of the screen. They must be created like this...
X - Extra gems
C - Same Color gems
L - Lightning gems
xxxxCxxx
xCCxCCx
xxxCxxx
xxxCxxx
Highlight the bold gems and flip to the right (A) this will connect all the gems together creating 2 lightning gems. You should also get an achievement for connecting 7 gems at once. Once you have the 2 lightning gems move them to the bottom and stack them up like this...
xxxxxxx
xxxLxxx
xxxLxxx
Now create 1 more lightning gem by using the same color as the lightning gems you just made.
x xxxx
xCCxC
xxxCx
xxxCx
Again highlight the bold gems and turn to the right to connect the 2 gems to the left and the 2 gems on the bottom. This will make 1 more Lightning gem so move it right over the 2 other ones but make sure there is 1 extra gem in between or you will set it off and ruin everything. It should look something like this....
G - The gem in between the 3 lightning gems.

xxGxx

Now use whatever color is in between the gems is (G) and match it up with 2 more of the same colors. This will drop the lightning gem on top and connect the 2 on the bottom. It will look something like this...
xxLxx
xxGGxG
xxLxx
xxLxx
Once you connect the G on the right with the 2 in the middle immediately start mashing the A button as fast as you can while also moving your cursor to the bottom right of the screen. You will get a huge combo anywhere from 300,000 - 2,500,000 every game. I got this achievement in just a few hours doing this method. Watch the video below for a better idea on what I'm talking about.
Also I know this guide may be a bit confusing to read if you're new to the game or it might just be too confusing to read for everybody but I tried to explain it the best I could. If you want to help out by leaving a comment on how I can make this better please do so. Good luck

FYI, the two lightning gems do not count for this achievement. Has to be 6 in a row.
