Duke or duchess, for example crossword clue
37 Down · WSJ Crossword, November 1, 2026 · 5 letters
Explanation
The answer to “Duke or duchess, for example” is NOBLE. It appears as 37 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of November 1, 2026, a Sunday puzzle titled “Moving Right Along” by Stella Zawistowski, and it fills 5 squares running top to bottom from row 7, column 15 of the 15×15 grid.
The clue gives an example and asks for the broader category it belongs to. The entry begins with N and ends with E, and contains 2 vowels and 3 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Weekend puzzles follow the same conventions as the weekday grids, pitched a notch above midweek, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
