The rules
- One real product appears each day with no price shown.
- You have 6 guesses to land within $1.00 of the actual price.
- After each guess, you get a higher 🔺 or lower 🔻 hint plus a heat meter.
- The same product shows for everyone playing on the same calendar day.
- Win to grow your streak. Miss and your streak resets the next day.
Reading the heat meter
The temperature indicator shows how close your guess is in percentage terms, not dollars. A $50 miss on a $1,000 product is "warm"; a $50 miss on a $20 product is ice cold.
- 🔥 On fire — within ~5% of the actual price
- 🌡️ Hot — within ~15%
- 😐 Warm — within ~30%
- ❄️ Cold — more than 50% off
The strategy: anchor wide, then halve
The best Pricedle players use bisection. Don't guess your gut on guess #1 — guess a deliberately wide anchor to learn the range.
- Guess 1: Anchor wide. For an unknown item, try $50.
- Guess 2: Read the heat. "Higher + cold" means the answer is well above $50, so jump to $250+.
- Guess 3-6: Bisect. Each guess should split the remaining range roughly in half.
Difficulty rotates by day of week
Pricedle quietly rotates difficulty so the week stays varied:
- Monday: Easy — everyday essentials
- Tuesday & Friday: Medium
- Wednesday & Saturday: Hard
- Thursday: Nostalgia — products from past decades
- Sunday: Wild — extreme cheap or extreme expensive
