Costcodle answer for July 9, 2025
Puzzle #659. 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 Red Bull Energy, 24 x 12 oz. The price stored for this puzzle is $48.99. A winning guess is any amount from $46.55 through $51.43, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $36.75 to $61.23.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $29.39, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $48.99. 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 $46.55 to $51.43.
