Costcodle answer for May 29, 2025
Puzzle #618. 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 Energy Drink, 24 x 16 oz. The price stored for this puzzle is $28.99. A winning guess is any amount from $27.55 through $30.43, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $21.75 to $36.23.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $17.39, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $28.99. 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 $27.55 to $30.43.
