Costcodle answer for June 13, 2026
Puzzle #998. 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 Mission Hill Bistro Brisket Burnt Ends. The price stored for this puzzle is $15.79. A winning guess is any amount from $15.01 through $16.57, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $11.85 to $19.73.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $9.47, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $15.79. 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 $15.01 to $16.57.
