Costcodle answer for April 18, 2026
Puzzle #942. 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 M&M’S Bulk Full Size Chocolate Candy, Peanut, 1.74 oz, 48 ct. The price stored for this puzzle is $31.99. A winning guess is any amount from $30.40 through $33.58, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $24.00 to $39.98.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $19.19, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $31.99. 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 $30.40 to $33.58.
