Nothing to Everything
Another of my rhyming word ladders. This one is quite challenging -- you will probably have to work forwards and backwards to get all seven words referenced below.
-----------------
Start with nothing.
Drop the first and add an N
to make what you could put cookies in.
Add a letter, then you'll see
what a kind of cloth might be.
Drop last two, turn it about.
Your honesty won't be in doubt.
Change V to T and add ER
For a good place from which to see far.
Change first to L and you will find
what all else is to the word behind.
Replace the middle, drop last one.
Everything you have! And now you are done.
