What is the definition of guess?

A guess is an attempt to answer a question or solve a problem without sufficient information to be sure of the answer. It's an educated estimate, a hunch, or a supposition based on limited knowledge or incomplete data.

Here's a breakdown:

* Attempt: You are actively trying to find an answer.

* Question or problem: There's something you're trying to figure out.

* Insufficient information: You don't have all the facts or details needed to be certain.

* Educated estimate: You're using whatever knowledge or experience you have to make the best guess possible.

Examples of guesses:

* "I guess it's going to rain today." (Based on the cloudy sky)

* "I'm guessing the answer is 12." (Without knowing the exact calculation)

* "I guess he's about 30 years old." (Estimating based on appearance)

It's important to note that while guesses can sometimes be right, they're not always reliable. It's always better to have solid evidence and facts to support your conclusions.
