Costcodle answer for May 14, 2025
Puzzle #603. I read this row from the official games list. The date is the UTC calendar day sampled at noon; your live game may show another number in your time zone.
The shelf price
The item is M&M’S Bulk Chocolate Candy, Milk Chocolate, 62 oz. The price stored for this puzzle is $12.49. A winning guess is any amount from $11.87 through $13.11, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $9.37 to $15.61.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $7.49, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $12.49. Anything beyond 25 percent away is a red tile. I would then jump toward the middle of the remaining range instead of nudging by a dime. Once a guess lands inside the yellow band I only test the center of $11.87 to $13.11.
