Weirdly, Albert Einstein discovered his theories by guessing, until he found a working solution that matched the known constraints, and then stopped. It is quite possible that the parts of the solution space he did not probe contain relevant alternative models.
Sometimes we cannot give a solution, but the constraints we want to impose on the solution space and the reasoning behind it. Einstein may have confused a lot of people that came after him more than he had to.

It took him10 yrs to jump for SR to GR. Probably he got fixated with Maxwell's eqns tweaking it here & there or might have searched for other alternatives.His predecessors and the mathematical support he got for his idea(Hilbert,Minkowski etc), culminated his search mission.
