Costcodle answer for October 11, 2026
Puzzle #1118. 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 Olde Thompson Smoked Paprika, 8.5 oz. The price stored for this puzzle is $3.99. A winning guess is any amount from $3.80 through $4.18, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $3.00 to $4.98.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $2.39, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $3.99. 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 $3.80 to $4.18.
