怀疑 vs 猜

1. 怀疑 is "to suspect", and 猜 is mainly "to guess". 猜 is not very often used to mean "to suspect".
2. When they both mean "to suspect"
- 怀疑 is paired with two-syllable words (e.g. 开始怀疑), while 猜 is not.
- 怀疑 is of higher level. When we use 怀疑, it's usually something serious or formal, e.g. criminal acts, motivation, something's authenticity/truthfulness, etc. The kind of suspicion usually is usually based on evidence. On the other hand, 猜 is informal and highly subjective.
- 怀疑 can be used after a verb, temporarily as a noun, e.g. 引起怀疑, 产生怀疑. 猜 cannot be used in this way
