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.

    Between Aug and Oct of 2015 5 tops between 1195 and 1197.  It takes off points as

    it gets close to high score, so I can never get any better.  I'm giving up, maybe.

    Thanks, that explains how I recently achieved 1299, which I thought was impossible.

    If you note the last entry in the high score, dated 30/11/2015 so it is obviously set to a European format of date for day/month/year rather than the month/day/year format.  The only questionable one then after considering that is the 03/02/201 which would then be February 3rd and the user posted on the 2nd, but that is explained by time zones.  If I were somewhere in Eastern Asia/Russia as I'm typing this, my local time system clock would put me on tomorrow's date, 11/19/2015, being about 14 hours ahead but posted to MS's servers hosting the forum in the USA with their local time zone and today's date, 11/18/15.
