Is it natural to say 'You only have three guesses.'? I want to express 'You can only guess three times.' or 'You only have three chances to guess.' I wonder which expression is more natural? Thank you!

I think the more natural expression is 'I will give you three guesses'. It can be shortened to :Three guesses; who do you think is coming to visit tonight?
