Riddle me this!

[oldkicker]

There is a common English word that is seven letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains a common English word - from seven letters right on down to a single letter.

What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing a letter at a time?

Note - for this one, no rearranging of letters is required!

Yesterday's:

Place the words below into pairs. You will then have 5 lots of eight letters, each of which is an anagram of another word. What are the original 5 8-letter words?
PEER
TIME
DATE
WALL
JUNE
TONE
SNOB
SEAT
PALE
VILE

Antelope = pale + tone
juvenile = vile + june
repeated = peer + date
snowball = snob + wall
estimate = time + seat.

Marsha - some YESTERPANTS for you!
