package[4] on its release on June 25, 1998 and has been since featured on most subsequent versions of Windows.

Once a complete sequence is achieved the cards are removed from the table and 100 points are added to the score.

Windows keeps track of scores for the player's reference; these may be viewed by going to Game and then Statistics.

There are two measures of performance in Spider Solitaire: number of games won and highest score.

Every time the player is able to place an entire sequence of cards of the same suit in order (kings, queens, jacks, 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 ace), 100 points are added to the score.

There is a total of eight such sequences in the game yielding a maximum achievable number of 800.

Therefore, in a winning game the total score is 800 plus 500 minus the number of moves and "undo"s.[12] Spider Solitaire was referenced on the February 27, 2021 episode of Saturday Night Live.
