Costcodle answer for August 27, 2025

Puzzle #708. 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.

Ruprecht’s Beef Pot Roast, the Costcodle item for 2025-08-27

Official Costcodle game screen showing a price guess and higher-or-lower arrows

The shelf price

The item is Ruprecht’s Beef Pot Roast. The price stored for this puzzle is $9.69. A winning guess is any amount from $9.21 through $10.17, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $7.27 to $12.11.

How I would have opened it

If I had started this day at $5.81, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $9.69. 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 $9.21 to $10.17.
