Therefore, in a winning game the total score is 800 plus 500 minus the number of moves and 'undo's.

There is a total of eight such sequences in the game yielding a maximum achievable number of 800. 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. Using the “undo” feature also subtracts one point from the score. The initial score is 500 and every move subtracts one from the score. The final score in a Spider Solitaire game is calculated as follows. In a certain sense these two measures are negatively correlated: maximizing games won may yield lower scores per game and vice versa. There are two measures of performance in Spider Solitaire: number of games won and highest score. In Windows 7, these scores appear in the Games Explorer by clicking the game and selecting the Statistics tab in the Preview Pane. Windows keeps track of scores for the player's reference these may be viewed by going to Game and then Statistics.

The player can also undo previous moves and try again. To aid the player, the key H ( Windows Vista or later only) or M will highlight possible moves, whereas in the Windows XP version this is done by clicking on the score panel. Any number of moves can be retracted, back to the last non-retractable move, but each 'undo' subtracts one from the score. Spider Solitaire has an ' undo' feature that allows moves to be retracted. There are three levels of difficulty in Spider Solitaire: Beginner (one suit), Intermediate (two suits), and Advanced (four suits). Each of the ten cards in this draw lands face up on each of the ten horizontal columns and the player then proceeds to place these in such a way to create a sequence of cards all in one suit. Once a player has made all the moves possible with the current card layout, the player draws a new row of cards from one of the piles of ten in the lower right-hand corner by clicking on the cards. Once a complete sequence is achieved the cards are removed from the table and 100 points are added to the score. Each final sequence must be all of the same suit. The object of the game is to uncover all the hidden cards and by moving cards from one column to another to place cards in sequential order from King to Ace using the fewest moves. Other cards can be placed on it, and it can be moved to other cards in a sequence or to an empty column. Moving the top card in a column allows the topmost hidden card to be turned over. For example, a six and seven of hearts may be moved to an eight of any suit, but a six of hearts and seven of clubs cannot be moved together. However, a sequence of cards can only be moved if they are all of the same suit in numerical descending order. For example, a six of hearts may be moved to a seven of any suit. In the horizontal columns a card may be moved to any other card in the column as long as it is in descending numerical sequence. The remaining fifty cards are laid out in the lower right hand corner in five piles of ten with no cards showing. Fifty-four of the cards are laid out horizontally in ten columns with only the top card showing. The game is played with two decks of cards for a total of 104 cards.
