Esquire has nothing to do with nobility / gentry. Any male person is esquire if they are pretentious enough to use it.

That's gentry, not nobility! Honestly "dame" is the one that I should probably change bc it's an honorific.

okay grid. should really accept 'titles' for the "nobility" category.

generally when a category is 'words within other words' like the S category here the words are connected in some way so don't love that one but otherwise pretty solid

I am editing to change out "dame" for something that fits better and to add "titles" as an answer! I didn't intend it to be "words in other words" so much as "words that are still words without the first letter" so I didn't think about that TBH.
