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.

    Play this once or twice a day to keep the brain ticking over - YES, I do use the Ctrl Z buttons occasionally - the score dosent seem to always relate somehow ; so my aim is less number of moves. Anything under 100 is good - only once have I broken 90 -  88 as in dictated. Key points are to never 'waste' moves, only add to rows when its a perfect fit, if you do clear a row put a king on top, usually when you get a low number of moves its because you have a row or two ending in a two - and the deal puts an ace on the row for you - so it clears without you having to make a move -

    My high score on intermediate Spider Solitaire is 1370; How this was achieved is beyond me, as it flies in the face of what Microsoft says the scoring should be...

    1505

    I recently reset my games, so I don't have proof of it with a screen shot, but...

    I had played about 3900 intermediate games over the past year and a half with a win percentage of 86%.

    The highest score I had was 1505, but from memory all other high scores were no more than high 1100's.
