A guess (or an act of guessing) is a swift conclusion drawn from data directly at hand, and held as probable or tentative, while the person making the guess (the guesser) admittedly lacks material for a greater degree of certainty. A guess is also an unstable answer, as it is "always putative, fallible, open to further revision and interpretation, and validated against the horizon of possible meanings by showing that one interpretation is more probable than another in light of what we already know". In many of its uses, "the meaning of guessing is assumed as implicitly understood", and the term is therefore often used without being meticulously defined. Guessing may combine elements of deduction, induction, abduction, and the purely random selection of one choice from a set of options. Guessing may also involve the intuition of the guesser, who may have a "gut feeling" about which answer is correct without necessarily being able to articulate a reason for having this feeling.
A guessing game is a game in which the object is to guess some kind of information, such as a word, a phrase, a title, or the location of an object.
Guessing Game or The Guessing Game may also refer to:
I can only guess
The thoughts runnin' through you
When you never talk
I can only guess
You can just assume
That every thing's alright
When you don't listen
You can just assume
I can barely believe
There's a little more to this
When you never call
I can barely believe
Sometimes it's like
We're playing in the closet
