Talk:Microsoft Spider Solitaire

message: Can all Spider Solitaire games be won, as in Free Cell, or is it more like original Solitaire in which all games are not beatable?76.4.88.132 02:20, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not all FreeCell games can be won either, and I think this was shown several years ago.  There are several proofs and examples of non-winnable FreeCell deals on the net that you can google.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.2.198.32 (talk) 01:50, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I believe I've substantially improved this article by providing a mathematical basis for the highest scores along with other changes and additions.  I've added sections on strategy for winning and strategy for getting the highest score.  I've tried to add references.  Most spider solitaire strategy discussions are on the internet.  I could find only one book which was a kindle book. CJMoynihanPHD (talk) 00:28, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article quality 

message: The article states that the maximum possible score is 1254. My high score is 1278. I don't know whether this is because the scoring system in vista is different or if something went wrong or if the calculations for the maximum score here are wrong. The calculations seem logical to me though. Jakjawagon (talk) 17:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, I got a score of 1,253 with something like 180 moves.  206.53.65.108 (talk) 02:33, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scoring 

message: I've got the same question.  I played the one suit on MS spider and got a score of 1360.  I didn't cheat, the cards just fell right.  I've looked all over the web and gotten the same answer of 1254 as the highest possible score.  Did they change the scoring system for Vista?68.19.237.68 (talk) 05:50, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have a recorded highest score of 1274. Getting scores above 1254 is due to a glitch in the operating system or Spider Solitaire itself. It happens when you complete a stack and the 100 points gained from it are recorded twice.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hugowolf (talk • contribs) 04:37, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Pressing "M" to see all available moves is not a "cheat".  It's available on the game menu.  It is also explained in the help file, along with the information that you can also click on the score box at the bottom for the same action69.37.68.72 (talk) 11:24, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

message: "Windows Vista also included a new feature which tells the user that there are no more moves even when there are." that is not a feature, it is a defect.  Calling it a feature is sarcastic geek-speek, not appropriate for an encyclopedia  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.210.11.154 (talk) 20:34, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

message: the highest possible score without hacking or cheating is unlimited. i have a high score right now of 13,232 and could go as high as i want. there is a glitch in the game (windows 7 version) that allows you to score this type of score without any cheating. i had been trying to figure out what the glitch was from having previously scoring in the high 1200's and it took almost 1000 games to find it , but find it i did. the glitch is when you are playing and your last move is a stack removal and it results in a "no more moves" screen , close the box with the "x" and then select undo and it will NOT remove the 100 points when it undoes the stack.
note that this cannot be the very last move and that there must be cards in each position.
i stopped at 13k , was just trying to see if it would go into five digits for the score, would be interesting to see if it will go into the millions:)   66.177.144.177 (talk) 14:47, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

message: There is absolutely no need to tag every single sentence with citation needed if a single additional references tag works for the article in general. It's obvious to which sentences a single additional references tag at the top of the article applies: all those currently without references. Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 21:58, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
