Costcodle answer for December 14, 2025
Puzzle #817. 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 Abeles & Heymann Beef Frankfurters, 3.5 lbs. The price stored for this puzzle is $21.49. A winning guess is any amount from $20.42 through $22.56, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $16.12 to $26.86.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $12.89, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $21.49. 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 $20.42 to $22.56.
