Costcodle answer for March 28, 2026

Puzzle #921. 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 Sara Lee Seeded Hamburger Buns 12 Ct / 31.5 Oz. The price stored for this puzzle is $2.99. A winning guess is any amount from $2.85 through $3.13, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $2.25 to $3.73.

How I would have opened it

If I had started this day at $1.79, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $2.99. 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 $2.85 to $3.13.
