The best strategy for this one is to first go outside, breathe fresh air, listen to the sounds of nature around you, and then to ask yourself if you are willing to throw that all aside and experience hours of torment. The next best way to prepare is to apologise to your wrists in advance. Once that is all done, find the devil, and sell your soul to him in exchange for some decent RNG. Once this is all in place, set the first piece against the walls as high as you can and focus on filling the center of the screen. If a single tetromino doesn't land where you want it to, close your eyes, take a deep slow breath, and count to five before trying again.

I'm so dumb, I cleared this on speed 11, and got so angry for not getting the cheevo that I completed it in a couple of tries.

This does seem more difficult than Type B 14-4, actually, but maybe that's just me

This was the blocker of the set for me.

Do not try to brute force it. If you realize you can never get in the range if 15 line missing you need to git gud first.


How I tackled it:
- Do first https://retroachievements.org/achievement/71078. Maybe its the lower height. But it was so much easier to do.
- Check your technique. To key things here which really helped:
- Keep rows low. Even if not perfect focus on clean single lines and keep them flat
- Realize that you can rotate with A and B in both directions. This will help to move L shapes fast.
Otherwise there is not enough time. I did All the Acheevos before with only move B because I did not
know which was really stupid of me...
- Play game type A for a while with Speed 12 or higher. Your brain will get trained to not find it to fast
anymore.

It still took me like ~5 hours but suddenly it felt easy and not frustrating anymore.

After this I could unlock this and all the even faster cheevos became relative trivial.

So do not give up its possible.

Definitely the hardest of the Clear B Height X set.
