What's the highest Score in Solitaire?
- The highest possible score in classic Klondike Solitaire, under standard Microsoft scoring rules, is:
- 🎯 24,113 Points
- This score is calculated using the "Vegas Cumulative" scoring mode in Microsoft Solitaire (Draw 1). Here's how it works:
- Each card moved to the foundation: +10 points
- Time bonus: Varies depending on speed
- Fewest moves: Maximizes score
- Fastest time: Adds bonus
- No undo: Maintains full scoring
- Completing the game: Required for max score
⚠️ Note: In the Vegas scoring mode, you start with a negative balance and earn money (not points) per card moved to the foundation. So this 24,113-point maximum typically applies to standard scoring, not Vegas mode.
- If you have a choice between a move from the tableau or the deck, check the deck first. It helps cycle through cards and reveals new options.
- Above 10,000 points: Very good
- 15,000–20,000 points: Excellent
- 20,000+ points: Nearly perfect play, fast, efficient, no mistakes
- Play Draw 1 (easier to win)
- Use fewer moves
- Finish the game quickly (time bonus!)
- Avoid undoing moves - Practice efficient card stacking and ea
- Practice efficient card stacking and early foundation building
