How to unlock the 1-2-2-1 achievement in Microsoft Minesweeper - Definitive Guide

The description to this is fairly straightforward: whenever you see the pattern 1-2-2-1, it means there's two mines adjacent to the 2's, and the other two tiles will have no mine. Click on the two tiles next to the 1's, 20 times, and you're good for this achievement.
However, it seems slightly more buggy than the identical achievements on the Win8 and WP versions.
What I've found:
- replay same level works
- chording is allowed (90% sure)
- 1-2-2-1 patterns uncovered on the first click do not count.
Once I found a Medium level that had a 1-2-2-1 pattern that I could uncover in 4-6 clicks, the achievement unlocked on my 17th replay of the level.
And just like the 1-2-1 achievement, progress tracking for this achievement does not work, and will show 0/20 until you unlock it.

I started playing Minesweeper for the achievements last month (May 2021). I finally got 1-2-2-1 to unlock after playing numerous boards. Some of the qualifiers that were in play when the achievement popped for me.
1. I played on a medium sized board.
2. Numbers were in a line (along a column from me).
2. I made sure I did not start to uncover the pattern right off the bat.
3 I played a blank tile to start the game away from the pattern but close enough where the uncovered tiles would help me locate the pattern easily.
4. I uncovered the pattern 1 number at a time.
5. After uncovering the pattern, I uncovered two safe tile next to the 1.
6. I made sure the safe tiles were numbered tiles and not blanks that would uncover a large section of the board.
7 After uncovering the safe numbered tiles, I clicked on a blank to unlock a large section of the board.
8. I played 2 or 3 more tiles, then detonated a mine and reloaded the same board.
Keeping track of games that stuck to this pattern, and not counting those that fell outside these limits, I unlocked the achievement in 17 games.

We take the middle field and simply open sections in different corners of the map with 4-7 clicks. If you come across a section where cells 1-2-2-1 are in a line horizontally or vertically, you need to open the side cells, that is, perpendicular to 1. Next, we lose, load the same map, open the area and cells next to 1, explode and repeat until you get the achievement.

As soon as you find a suitable combination, blow up a mine and choose to replay the current field. Repeat 20 times.
