Costcodle answer for January 29, 2026
Puzzle #863. 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 Foster Farms Sweet Chipotle BBQ Take Out Crispy Wings, 4 lb. The price stored for this puzzle is $17.49. A winning guess is any amount from $16.62 through $18.36, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $13.12 to $21.86.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $10.49, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $17.49. 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 $16.62 to $18.36.
