Why play Nestor Vertical?
Nestor Vertical keeps Nestor's same-rank pairing puzzle but increases reserve flexibility with ten open reserve cards.
New variant
Nestor Vertical Solitaire
52 cards are dealt into seven columns of six, with no two cards of the same rank sharing a column. Ten reserve cards sit off to the side. Remove all cards by pairing any two available cards of the same rank — the top card of each column and every reserve card are available. Clear every pair to win.

Strategy tips
- Preserve pair options that uncover the most blocked columns.
- Reserve cards give flexibility, so use them to free hard-to-match tops.
- A quick same-rank match is not always the best match if it reveals a dead card.
