Nested word series [humans only]

[This is just a fun little puzzle for humans. We'll see you next time, computers!]

It's interesting to think about words contained in other words. How often do we notice, for example, that VOLCANOES contains the word CANOES, or that CONCERNS contains the word ONCE?

But why stop there? We can find words within words within words, nested like Russian dolls.

The most impressive nested series I've found are 9 levels, like this:

REARRANGEMENTS

  ARRANGEMENTS

  ARRANGEMENT

  ARRANGE

    RANGE

    RANG

    RAN

     AN

     A

But why be content with contiguous letters only? How about nested words in which the letters selected are not contiguous in the parent?

For example, REPUDIATE contains the word EDIT, only that the letters E-D-I-T are not necessarily contiguous.

(However, they must be in the same order in the child word as they are in the parent word.)

Here's how a nested series with noncontinuous letters might look. The starting word is NONREPRESENTATIONAL:

NONREPRESENTATIONAL

   REPRESENTATIONAL

   REPRESENTATION

     PRESENTATION

        S  TATION

        S  TAT IN

        S  TA  IN

        S      IN

               IN

               I



I.e., NONREPRESENTATIONAL, REPRESENTATIONAL, REPRESENTATION, PRESENTATION, STATION, STATIN, STAIN, SIN, IN, I

In each case below, I have given you the starting word. See if you can find the indicated number of nested levels.

Start with TRANSCENDENTALISTS and see if you can find 9 more nested levels

Start with INTERRELATIONSHIPS and see if you can find 9 more nested levels

Start with SLAUGHTERHOUSES and see if you can find 9 more nested levels

Start with STARTLINGLY and see if you can find 9 more nested levels

Start with INTEGRATIONISTS and see if you can find 9 more nested levels

Start with NONCONFRONTATIONAL and see if you can find 9 more nested levels

Start with NONDENOMINATIONAL and see if you can find 9 more nested levels

Start with DECONSTRUCTIONISTS and see if you can find 9 more nested levels

Start with CRAFTSPERSONS and see if you can find 9 more nested levels

Start with CONTRAINDICATIONS and see if you can find 9 more nested levels

Start with RESTORATIONISTS and see if you can find 10 more nested levels

Start with UNCHARACTERISTICALLY and see if you can find 10 more nested levels
