1. guessed

   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 given 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.

Examples of guessed in a Sentence

1. Fred Yen:

   In a series of decisions, he was successfully second-guessed by the players so often that he not only undermined his own personal ability, but the ability of future commissioners to impose discipline.

2. Erik Jensen:

   You always stay away from the child molesters and rapists, but when you looked at David, you would have never guessed he killed a cop. He was very well-spoken, very detailed-oriented. He focused on his artwork. He always came across like he knew he was intelligent… He was the inmate supervisor. So Joyce would talk to David because he was right under her. And they developed this bond… I think it went from a work relationship to a friendship to then Joyce doing favors for him.

3. Nicole Elliot:

   It will be so tough to lose him shortly, so I decided to take the time he has left (which is undetermined, but not guessed to be very long,) and make it as happy as I can.

4. Steve Bucci:

   We don’t know that he was any more of a threat in 2013 and 2014 than anyone else shooting off their mouth, back then he was deemed insignificant enough to fall below the other threats with which the FBI was contending. They have to triage the work since they have limited assets. They clearly guessed wrong.

5. Kanye West:

   It's not about me. It's about ideas. New ideas. People with ideas. People who believe in truth, and yes, as you probably could've guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president.
