Welcome to the boards, chrisbro! I suspect this old thread has done more to attract new members than any other single thread. I’m not a Spider expert, so I don’t understand your question. What is the theoretical maximum score?
Who has the score record
I thought I was the only person crazy in this particular way.
I just play 2 Suit.
On my current phone, 328 games 313 wins (95%). Previous phone was over 1000 games at 93%, 3 phones ago was somewhere between 500-1000 games, low 90’s percentage.
Current high score is 1163, but I never pay attention to that so couldn’t tell you on previous phones. I would wager it would be similar, don’t think I have ever gotten over 1200.
On my current phone I am at 100% for Freecell, 183 games. Previous phone was probably a few hundred games with 1 loss because i fat fingered the prompt to quit. 3 phones ago was also 100% but have no idea how many games. Maybe the algorithm on the mobile version is different? It is made by Microsoft, but who knows.
FTR I win 90-95% for 2 suit spider after roughly a couple thousand games, so I am not some genus like some people on this thread with perfect 4 suit records after 10k games.
My score i over 1 million points
I’m at 675 out of 677 on two suit random. Both “losses” were due to computer problems. I’d like to start over without these dumb losses but the system remembers me and my tainted record.
This guy wrote a solver for 4 Suit Spider Solitaire and found that out of 32000 games, 31998 are known winnable or a win rate of 99.994%.
Very good, did you start over anytimes so you could achieve this very good win percentage?
422 wins in a row. Two Suit.
