As you can see above, I have answered over 10,000 questions correctly on Jeopardy. However, the 3,037 incorrect answers are more valuable to me.
I play Jeopardy every weekday online. There are twelve questions each time (six "regular jeopardy" and six "double jeopardy"). Naturally, I like getting as many questions correct as possible. I average knowing/guessing a little over nine of the twelve (76.7%, to be precise, as of today).
If you think that sounds impressive—it's not, really; after all, in the online version of the game, you are given the correct answer (along with two wrong answers). All you need to do is eliminate the "fake news" and select the correct one. By simply selecting a random answer, you should get four right each day. So the nine I typically get is "OK," but nothing to write home about.
On the other hand, it is true that in the flesh-and-blood game (where you play against people instead of a computer) you can either choose the categories you want, or opt out of answering questions you have no clue about (no pun intended). So there's that; it's still easier to play the game online, though: you're not competing against other people, and there is far less stress/anxiety/tension (I imagine).
Getting the answers right is fine, but it might actually be better to get them wrong: If you enjoy learning things, it's not how many you get right that matters so much. In fact, the questions you get wrong should be the more interesting ones to you, because those are the times you learn something. Of late, I've been recording a few of the things I've learned in this way (after choosing the wrong answer among the three candidates provided).
These are some facts I learned by selecting a wrong answer:

4) The word Algebra means something like "Reunion of Broken Parts" in Arabic
5) "Charger plates" are oversized plates used for decorative purposes, and sit underneath the plates on which the food is actually served
6) Nathan Hale (not Patrick Henry, as I thought) is the person who is said to have lamented on the gallows that he had only one life to give (prior to being hanged by the British)

23) The U.K. Parliament's House of Lords can be traced back to an 11th Century Council of Religious Leaders
24) High-speed steel often contains tungsten
25) The outermost region of the sun's atmosphere is the Corona
26) Penn State is home to the Nittany Lions (I didn't even know that Lions knitted)
27) The “Noble” gas with the lowest atomic number is Helium
28) The Go-Gos were the only all-female rock band to top the Billboard albums chart who wrote their own songs and played the instruments
29) 1/3 X Base Area X Height gives the volume of a pyramid

33) The term meaning to cut food into small pieces is mince (not dice)
So, if you want to learn stuff (some of it valuable, although much of it is trivia[l]), play Jeopardy and pay special attention to the questions that you didn't already know the answer to.
