Explanation
To guess means to say an answer without being sure. It means to try to find an answer using little information; for example, “Can you guess her age?” As a noun, it means the answer you said without being sure, like “That was a good guess!” People guess when they don’t know something for sure, like in games, quizzes, or when guessing the weather. Guessing is about trying your best even when you’re not certain.
