How to unlock the Down in One! achievement in Quarrel - Definitive Guide

Edit: I thought this was clear from the achievement description, but I suppose it's worth saying. You earn this achievement by winning the Calimari Cove scenario in only one turn. You must take every enemy territory and complete the level without ending your turn. As with most of the achievements in this game, using an anagram solver online somewhere can greatly reduce the difficulty. I am writing this from the perspective of NOT using an anagram solver, though I certainly don't care if you use one.
This is tough, but it's doable. You might have to get a little lucky.
Starting positions and starting armies are exactly the same every time. Starting position may or may not be fixed, but most likely you'll be going last (4th). Try to get the anagrams when other players attack each other, each anagram gives you one Extra Backup and you want to have a few of those on your turn in order to make a lot of attacks. You'll also get an Extra Backup for each other player you eliminate, so try to knock out Dwayne and Caprice early on your turn, they should have already lost some battles to Malik.
Last game mechanic you need to remember about is "Star Army". When you get a streak of 3 or more connected victories on one turn, you get bonus treasure, which leads to Extra Backup.
You don't need to be perfect in order to win this; I almost got this in a game where I lost a battle to Caprice on the first turn. That actually made it easier to get Star Armies since there was more space between my territories.

You don't want them each to have one square left, you want them each to have no squares left. This achievement is for clearing the level entirely before you end your turn.

I had to complete it twice for the achievement to pop. I think I know why though. The first playthrough I beat every territory in the first round at the score summary screen I acquired the 'Omniscience' achievement.
The second time through I did exactly the same as the first, but this time the 'Down in One' achievement popped.
My guess is that this game you may be able to unlock only one achievement at a time at the score summary screen.

You start with 3 territories. Lose the two with the lowest point score and solve all the anagrams, when the other players are fighting = back up.
Make sure all players are still in the game and that you have at least a 7 point territory. Normally this will be at the start of your first turn.
Then, using an anagram solver, work your way around the board in one turn, conquering one territory after the other. Use your back up each fight round, so you always have 8 words and solve the anagram, so you always have the highest point score and never run out of back ups.
When you have defeated the last territory the achievement will pop.

This is the 3rd Domination map. Much like the Trailblazing challenges, you must take down the 3 other players in a single turn. Utilize anagram possibilities as the other players fight each other to give yourself Extras and allow you to sustain the captures during your turn. After defeating your opponents the achievement will unlock at the end of the match.

Some tips: Make sure to fill out the anagram whenever it's not your turn. Whenever you get challenged before your turn rolls around, make sure to call for any backup you have so you have as many letters as you can per territory when your turn starts. Finally, don't be like me and forget that if you reinforce a territory from an adjacent one, both territories become unusable!
