Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Famous Buildings) for Wednesday, July 23, 2025 (Season 41, Game 228):

Opened in 1902, it’s 87 feet in width on the 22nd Street side & less than 7 feet wide at its narrowest point on 23rd Street

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Andrew Crowley, a freelance writer from Henderson, Nevada

Gerri Budd, an adjunct professor & small business owner from Nutley, New Jersey

Scott Riccardi, an engineer from Somerville, New Jersey (14-day total: $390,902)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Scott Riccardi enters the antepenultimate game of Season 41 as a 14-day champion; today, he goes for win #15 against Gerri Budd and Andrew Crowley. An interesting stat from Scott’s run: His last seven games have seen him go exactly 2-for-2 on Daily Doubles.

I would also like to remind Jeopardy!, especially after the closed captioning issues in last night’s game (most specifically, referring to “Happy birthday, Alice” instead of “Happy birthday, Alex” at the end of the show), that Canada has incredibly stringent broadcast requirements when it comes to closed captioning, specifically that any captioning mistake in pre-recorded television is in violation of Canadian broadcasting regulations. Since you distribute the program in Canada, you are causing your Canadian affiliates to be in violation of Canadian regulations due to the imperfect closed captions. This should be at the top of your “fix this” list for Season 42.

Correct response: What is the Flatiron Building?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2025 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

Named because it looks like a cast-iron clothes iron when viewed from above, the Flatiron Building (originally known as the Fuller Building) is a triangle-shaped building located between Fifth Avenue, Broadway, 22^nd Street, and 23^rd Street in Manhattan. It’s one of the more iconic buildings in Manhattan, and it has spent much of the 2020s in a high-profile renovation and auction dispute; the building is currently being renovated into 38 condominiums.

Honestly, this feels like a relatively straightforward Final Jeopardy clue and one that I think we need to see a few more of in Season 42.
