Today is Friday, and it’s the final day of Mayim Bialik’s hosting stint! Thus far, $183,852 has been raised through 9 days for the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Geography Words) for Friday, June 11, 2021 (Season 37, Game 185):
From the Latin for “key”, this word for a type of isolated country applies to Vatican City, which has keys on its flag
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Katie Sekelsky, a graphic designer from Kent, Ohio
Mike Goldstein, a copywriter originally from Downingtown, Pennsylvania
Ankit Gupta, a product manager from Somerville, Massachusetts (1-day total: $13,600)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts: Ankit won from a distant second yesterday after Final Jeopardy! fell favorably for him. After being in first on the signalling device only 12 times yesterday, that’s a number that will need to improve for him to have a better chance at winning today.
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they are able to. When wearing a mask, ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

More information about Final Jeopardy: (The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2021 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
The word “enclave” comes from “clavis”, Latin for “key”. It is a term used to describe land (or a country) that is completely surrounded by another country—in the case of Vatican City (or San Marino), they are completely surrounded by Italy.
Unrelatedly, this is something that I thought of this morning because today’s Jeopardy! Clue of the Day was rendered differently in the New York Times and on Jeopardy!‘s website (the Times version had the comma inside the quotation marks, the website version had the comma outside): Jeopardy!‘s in-house style guide calls for punctuation outside of the quotation marks—the British way—for two reasons. Firstly, the show’s original editorial producer was the product of a British education; secondly (and much more importantly): punctuation marks outside of quotation marks were seen as much easier to read at the distance, font, and screen size of the 1980s Jeopardy! set. Frankly, having seen (and been very much thrown off by) the typesetting of the clue in this morning’s New York Times, I would 100% agree: American grammatical convention be damned, having punctuation outside of the quotation marks makes sense for Jeopardy!.
