Usage Note
Adivinar is used for guessing anything from a riddle to someone's age. The derived noun adivinanza means a riddle or guessing game, very common in children's contexts. Do not confuse with predecir (to predict, with some basis), as adivinar implies pure guessing or intuition.
Examples
"¿Puedes adivinar mi edad?"
