This is a fabulously concise way of explaining the difference between the three. Bookmarking your explanation to share in the future!

A neat thing about reasoning is that we tend to use all three, too. Abduction → Deduction → Induction ... in cycles.

More on topic with the OP: to me, intuition is what happens when we skip through these steps. It's the heuristics we use to make good decisions when we don't have the time to "abduce" possibilities, "deduce" the likely answer(s), and "induce" the evidence of our deductions.
