Information & Best Guess
📋 What it is
When clues run out, the best guess uses ALL the information you have — not just the last clue.
🗣️ Coach says
Sometimes you must decide before you’re certain. A best guess isn’t random — it weighs every clue you’ve gathered so far and picks what the whole picture points to.
🧠 Memory hook
Best guess = ALL the clues, not the loudest one.

✅ Quick check: You have 4 clues; the newest one is exciting but 3 older ones point the other way. What should your best guess follow?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
The weight of all four — three consistent clues usually outweigh one flashy new one.
A best guess integrates all the evidence; over-weighting the latest clue is a common trap.
