My highest scores for Spider Solitaire (Windows 7's version) on intermediate are as follows:

1238 (5/23/2010)

1222 (6/20/2010)

1214 (8/30/2010)

1195 (4/4/2011)

1180 (6/12/2011)

I'm positive there are higher scores possible. :)

Wikipedia states that the highest possible score is 1293 given a perfect deal (and I'm assuming that's on Expert mode given the additional score possibilites being lower than what I've achieved on intermediate mode).

Win percentage is almost meaningless (addressing another "answer") as all games of Spider Solitaire are winnable given the unlimited undo's in Windows' version. I've played 646 games thus far with a 100% win percentage.

You can get as high a score as you want.  It just takes time.

Find a game where when you clear a column you get the no more moves screen.  You just got 100 points. Click to return to the game and undo.  The game forgets to take away the 100 points.   clear the column again and get another 100 points (minus the point for the undo and the point for the move to clear the column).  Wash, rinse, repeat until you reach the score you want or get bored.

    As with the guys up above I have no idea how I got such high scores and no I did not hack the score file.. kind of pointless when your playing against your self.. but my top scores are 1493, 1472,1415,1355,1317. I wish I knew how I did it but with the guy above I didn't even notice my scores till days later so wasn't even paying attention when I achieved them. any body got any ideas how its happening?

    My intermediate level (Windows 7) 3 highest stats are:

    1399, 1354, and 1314 and until reading the other replies, I had no idea how I had achieved them, as a straight-forward accounting says there are a maximum of 1300 points with no moves.  Obviously there must be "bonus" points, but now I suspect it is a function of "undoing" a completed stack. I'll have to try it out.

    More interesting is that the dealing of the decks is apparently weighted to give you a harder deck as a function of how long you have been playing. I have been able twice to achieve over 100 wins with no losses, but I have to limit myself to one game at a time, then close the window and come back at least an hour later.  I have tried to correlate this to my becoming lazy or tired with consecutive games, but that does not seem to correlate.
