Costcodle answer for May 11, 2026

Puzzle #965. 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.

Palirria Dolmas, 3 X 14 oz, the Costcodle item for 2026-05-11

The shelf price

The item is Palirria Dolmas, 3 X 14 oz. The price stored for this puzzle is $8.99. A winning guess is any amount from $8.55 through $9.43, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $6.75 to $11.23.

How I would have opened it

If I had started this day at $5.39, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $8.99. 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 $8.55 to $9.43.
