The correct word is ''guesses''. ''Guess'' functions as a word that means ''to think / to suppose; to estimate or conjecture about correctly.'' You usually use 'guess' in a sentence in order to risk an opinion regarding something one does not know about, or, by chance, to arrive at the correct answer to a question. Here are some examples:
1) ''I guessed that would be the answer.''
2) ''He is guessing that she won't come.''
3) ''I guess he got stuck in traffic.''
4) ''By this time they had guessed that something was seriously wrong.''
* As for ''guesses'', it is an expression used when the person intend to make lots of suppositions about a certain situation.
Examples:
1) ''Oh, that was bad guess!''
2) ''My guesses on the outcome of the game turned out to be all wrong.''
3) ''Do you have any guesses for tonight's game?''
4) ''Her guesses may be right!''
Hope that helps!!!

GUESSES. If, the answer is current the correct way to write/say it is guessing. For example, I'm guessing that you told him about your appointment vs. I had three times to guess the answers. My guesses were wrong. Hope this helps
