Costcodle answer for August 15, 2026

Puzzle #1061. 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.

Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice, 12 x 15.2 oz, the Costcodle item for 2026-08-15

The shelf price

The item is Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice, 12 x 15.2 oz. The price stored for this puzzle is $9.49. A winning guess is any amount from $9.02 through $9.96, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $7.12 to $11.86.

How I would have opened it

If I had started this day at $5.69, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $9.49. 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 $9.02 to $9.96.
