Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Sapana Vora, a Congressional staffer from Arlington, Virginia
Tim Swankey, a retired actuary from Marcellus, New York
James Denison, a college professor & museum curator originally from Alexandria, Virginia (2-day total: $81,798)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
James Denison is your 2-day Jeopardy champion, having won over $80,000 over his first two games. (Editorial note: James is nowhere near the 2-day record, set back in 2010; Roger Craig won $114,000 over his first two games.) I would say that he is incredibly likely to see a Champions Wildcard invite even if he loses today on winnings alone, but a win today would likely guarantee that Champions Wildcard invite, and make a Tournament of Champions invite even more likely.
James has made a name for himself by making extremely aggressive bets in Final Jeopardy. I still maintain that this is absolutely not the correct play, as it assumes that trailing players both know and follow wagering strategy—a very dangerous assumption, as the show’s history is littered with contestants who do not make the proper bet from second. Just make the cover bet from the lead—the extra money today is not worth the chance of you allowing second or third to back into a victory after poor strategy and the lost future winnings from having done so. And in modern Jeopardy!, especially with the money available to players who make it to the Tournament of Champions or even Jeopardy! Masters, getting yourself to a point where it’s more likely you can reach the upper echelons—especially when you’ve demonstrated play as strong as James has—is significantly more important than a few thousand dollars in the short term.

Final Jeopardy! Clue: In this 1897 work the title character enters an inn with his face almost entirely covered in bandages
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.
Correct response: What is The Invisible Man?
More Information About Final Jeopardy!:
A character who has become iconic in the horror genre, H.G. Wells’s The Invisible Man deals with the title character, Griffin, who has used science to change his body’s refractive index, rendering himself permanently invisible. In his effort to maintain visibility at the start of the work, his face is hidden nearly entirely in bandages.
As someone who often gravitates towards publication year as a major clue, I found it incredibly difficult to not guess Dracula, a work published in the same year as The Invisible Man. I also am curious to know if the contestant briefing before this week’s game was any different—contestants in the past have often reported that H.G. Wells’s The Invisible Man vs. Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man is the example given of the exception to the show’s leading article rule.
Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:
Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Tuesday, March 10, 2026 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:
Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Sub, Read It; Watch Out For That Team!; Cities Around Europe; The Business Of Music; “Um”; This Is Awkward)
Despite a few incorrect responses, everyone got off to a good start. At the interviews, Tim led with $2,200 to Sapana’s $2,000 and James’s $1,400.
Statistics at the first break (15 clues):
Tim 4 correct 2 incorrect
Sapana 3 correct 0 incorrect
James 4 correct 1 incorrect
Today’s interviews:
Sapana is the youngest of triplets.
Tim went down the luge run in Lake Placid and was “the idiot on the sled”.
James has a lifelong sports bet with friends where he cheers against the Astros.
James found the Daily Double, picking up as much as he could from it. Tim still led after 30 thanks to three $1,000 correct responses. On the opening board, Sapana went 3/5 in European cities.
Statistics after the Jeopardy round:
Tim 6 correct 3 incorrect
James 9 correct 2 incorrect
Sapana 9 correct 1 incorrect
Scores after the Jeopardy! Round:
Tim $3,800
James $3,200
Sapana $2,600
Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: 1926; Airport Codes; “I” Movie; Element + Word; Myth-Ellaneous; It’s Idiomatic)
Sapana had the opportunity to put herself in a great position when she found DD2 in airport codes. Despite it being in a category where she ultimately went 3/5, she only bet one-third of her score. James then found the last Daily Double four clues later, bet to take the lead, and had a crush-sized lead entering Final thanks to being just that little bit more aggressive in Daily Double betting. On the second board, in addition to Sapana’s performance in Airport Codes, James went 3/5 in myth and 4/5 in movies. (Unsurprisingly, considering the Letterboxd obsession he revealed yesterday.)
Statistics after Double Jeopardy:
James 21 correct 3 incorrect
Sapana 17 correct 1 incorrect
Tim 13 correct 5 incorrect
Total number of unplayed clues this season: 9 (0 today).
Scores going into Final:
James $20,000
Sapana $13,200
Tim $9,000
Final Jeopardy ended up as a Triple Stumper; James still went very aggressive with his Final Jeopardy bet, but it still worked out for him—he’s now a 3-day champion. He goes for win #4 tomorrow.
Tonight’s results:
Tim $9,000 – $4,602 = $4,398 (What is The man in the iron mask?)
Sapana $13,200 – $6,801 = $6,399 (What ithe Phantom of the Opera?)
James $20,000 – $10,999 = $9,001 (What is Dracula?) (3-day total: $90,799)
Other Miscellaneous Game Statistics:
Daily Double locations:
1) SUB, READ IT $600 (clue #18)
James 1000 +1000 (Tim 2200 Sapana 1000)
2) AIRPORT CODES $1200 (clue #12)

Andy’s Thoughts:
- I will grant that James is making strategic choices here that I myself probably would have made even in 2013 or 2014. However, I still maintain that in 2026, even with my wagering strategy guide available to players for nearly a decade, assuming that players in regular play know wagering strategy from any position not the lead is a dangerous assumption to make.
- Here’s the other thing about James’s overly aggressive betting strategy: it now makes Sapana look like she bet too much in Final Jeopardy when she actually followed a reasonable strategy from the position she was in.
- Today’s J!6 clues can be found at the monthly archive.
Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:
(Scores: James $20,000 Sapana $13,200 Tim $9,000)
James: Standard cover bet today is $6,401. (Actual bet: $10,999)
Tim: You have to be correct to have any chance of winning. Bet at least $4,601—but you could consider going all-in here in order to force Sapana to make a cover bet. (Actual bet: $4,602)
Sapana: Bet at least $4,801 to cover Tim. (Actual bet: $6,801)
