Alan, kindly explain why "my guess is worse" isnt correct in this case? thanks

[Kitosdad]

Good evening Rolana, "my guess is worse"makes no sense whatsoever.
It is grammatically nonsensical.

Kitos.

[Abuseifein]

Hi all,
I still don't understand it. will you explain it more to me?
And what if his guess is wrong and my guess is wrong as well, How could we say ?" your guess is as good as mine."

[Beeesneees]

Your guess is as good as mine
can be taken to mean 'I don't know either'!

You are both guessing, rather than answering from facts so the chances of you being right or wrong are even.
