How many hot dogs were eaten by Joey Chestnut when he won the 2026 Nathan's hot dog eating competition?

Guess

How this works

• Guess a number. There is no limit, and there is no losing - you play until you get it.
• Every guess comes back hotter or colder: whether you moved nearer the answer than your last guess, or further away.
• Your first guess has nothing to compare against, so it is judged on its own and comes back hot, warm, cold or frigid - how close it landed, as a share of the answer itself.
• Nothing tells you which way to go. Two guesses and the direction is yours to work out.
