About Worthle
Every month, the UK's Office for National Statistics gathers prices for a "shopping basket" of over 700 goods and services from approximately 20,000 retail outlets around the country. For each one of the items in the basket, there are dozens of entries.
Each day, Worthle takes all of these prices for one of the items in the basket, as they were at the start of the year, to find the maximum, minimum and mean (average) price.
Just for fun, can you correctly guess the average price of today's item? Keep trying to get the right price but don't guess too high or you will go bust and lose a coin. You have 3 coins and 6 guesses.
After each turn, the box next to your guess gives a range for the actual price.
A new item appears every day at midnight (UK time), and the results for each day appear here the next morning.
How to read a day's results
- Average is the average of every player's best (closest) guess.
- Lowest guess and highest guess cover every guess anyone made.
- Exact, over and under count the players whose best guess was exactly right, too high or too low.
