How to unlock the Crossword Insanity achievement in Team Crossword - Definitive Guide

When you're connected to Live, you can only have five puzzles running at once, unless you become a premium member, which costs about between $10-20.

There is a work-around, however.

Make sure you have no online games in progress.

Disconnect your ethernet cable/turn off the wifi/pull out the wifi dongle on your computer.

Go to the main menu. You will now be able to make offline games.

Make 19 of them.

Reconnect your computer's internet.

Load up an online game.

You would think the achievement would pop at this point, but it won't.

Right click on your mouse on the screen, and the menu from the top side of the screen will appear. Click on "My Puzzles".

The achievement will then pop.

Edit: The game will not allow you to play your offline games whilst you're connected to Live, so all you need to do to get rid of the offline games in progress is remove your net connection again, load up each game (under "My Puzzles"), and either complete them, or right click the mouse button, and click "Resign" in the bottom right corner. Hope this helps people who don't want these offline games continuously in progress.

Edit #2: Make sure that you do NOT have 21 or more games running. It must be EXACTLY 20 for the achievement to pop.

Worked great, thanks. Following your guide had 23/5, so I resigned from 3 and still popped the achievement.

Just tried this. It didn't work for me. I started 19 games with my internet pulled, then reconnected it, joined an online game, went to my puzzles, and it only showed the one I was currently in.

I take that back. The thing was running real slow for me, so I closed the game and reloaded it. Then I went to continue and all my games showed as 20/5 and the achievement popped.

As mentioned by Noblrpx672 if you have more than 20 the achievement doesn't actually pop either. So make sure it's only 19 offline games, plus the one online...

Worked great. I recommend closing the game before enabling and disabling your internet. Like stated above, for some reason this game will become really slow if you don't.
