How to unlock the Gems Gone Wild achievement in Taptiles - Definitive Guide

Actually you don't have to be very quick to get this achievement. What you need is to plan ahead and a little luck.

Special tiles appear every 15 speed bonus. So what you're going to is this.

1) try to finish a puzzle with a multiple of 15 speed bonus. This will get a special tile right at the beginning of the next puzzle and lots of tiles to match.

2) If you don't get a gem tile start over

3) If it is a gem tile, leave it there and start build your speed bonus again. When you're close again to a multiple of 15 (like 13), match the gems.

4) Continue with the speed bonus and hit the multiple of 15 mark with green tiles, you will be awarded a new special tile.

5) if it is not a wild tile (flower) start over.

6) if it is a wild tile (flower) hit it immediately and the achievement will pop as long as you still have green tiles in the puzzle.

After coming with this plan it took 15 minutes to get the achievement.

Remember plan ahead, good luck and don't give up.

I did this without trying. But this is the way to go.

I managed to get this, but I have never got a special tile on the beginning of a level if i finished the previous one with multiple of 15. It seems like the game is punishing me instead of rewarding me.

I just recently got this game, and I wonder if this either is a bug on my part, or if the game has been updated since you wrote the solution? Part from step one in the solution everything else is spot on, so +1 for postive vote ;)

It is been a while since I wrote the solution. Maybe they patched this or it was only bad luck. If more confirm it, I will update the solution. Thanks for the info

The Solution from "Itzz Sh0wt1m3" isnt quite right.

Here is the way to get this achievement:

Only in Dash-Mode:

Gem Tile = Green Diamond pair which transform all tiles into green diamonds
Wild Tile = Colorfull Flower which removes 1 or 2 spairs of tiles

If you already has a Wildtile pair in the puzzle and you clear a Gem-Tile the Wildtiles will also be transformed into green diamond - so this cant work!

What you have to do is - guess what - be really quick. If you manage to clear a certain amount of green diamonds, a wildtile-pair will appear. If you manage to clear this wildtile-pair the whole puzzle will be removed. And you get your achievement.

I think the amount of green diamond pairs which need to be removed for the wildtile to show up is about 20~ but i tried this a few times and it showed up everytime - usually I was to slow and the green diamonds already transformed back. If you cant solve enough pairs while in Gem-Mode, no wildtile will appear.

If you got puzzle with big blocks dont just into the block - this will result in a lot failed attempts to solve a pair. Click furiously into the puzzle and sweep the mouse around as soon as you clear the gemtile. The be ready for the wildtile.

Remember - be quick.

Hmm.. just got one puzzle down to only 2 gem tiles and 2 wild tiles and used the wilds to clear the gems and it didn't pop. I now have no idea how to get this achievement, and your solution needs more clear instructions before I'll give it a thumbs up.

Your solution is great and can stand by itself, no need to refer another user or call them out!

This was the second achievement I got. I wasn't even paying attention to what I did - I just kept matching in Dash as fast as possible. Sweet ratio, for now.

Unless I'm missing something, this statement is very misleading:

"If you manage to clear a certain amount of green diamonds, a wildtile-pair will appear. If you manage to clear this wildtile-pair the whole puzzle will be removed. And you get your achievement."

I've cleared plenty of wildtile-pairs and not got this achievement. If I'm reading it correctly this is for using that pair to clear a pair of gem tiles (best done as the last 2 sets on the board).

I just cleared a load of gem with a wild tile, it wasn't even the whole board and it popped :)

I played Dash on my Surface and just used both hands and multiple fingers to clear the boards and I got it by accident. I was actually after the Supersonic achievement.
