Costcodle answer for September 23, 2026

Puzzle #1100. 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.

Hebrew National Beef Franks, 3.5 lb, the Costcodle item for 2026-09-23

The shelf price

The item is Hebrew National Beef Franks, 3.5 lb. The price stored for this puzzle is $11.99. A winning guess is any amount from $11.40 through $12.58, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $9.00 to $14.98.

How I would have opened it

If I had started this day at $7.19, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $11.99. 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 $11.40 to $12.58.
