Costcodle answer for May 4, 2026
Puzzle #958. 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 Alaska Sausage Co. Alaska Sausage with Reindeer Meat, 3 lbs. The price stored for this puzzle is $18.99. A winning guess is any amount from $18.05 through $19.93, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $14.25 to $23.73.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $11.39, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $18.99. 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 $18.05 to $19.93.
