It has been taught far too long that "an educated guess" was know as a hypothesis. However, the true meaning of a hypothesis is simply a proposed solution to a problem that must be tested in order to validate and be considered reliable.

An hypothesis must also be provable false. "There are no elves" is a bad hypothesis because it is impossible to prove the absence of something.
