Costcodle answer for May 23, 2025
Puzzle #612. 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 Spam Less-Salt Lunch Meat, 8 x 12 oz. The price stored for this puzzle is $17.99. A winning guess is any amount from $17.10 through $18.88, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $13.50 to $22.48.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $10.79, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $17.99. 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 $17.10 to $18.88.
