I know うまくいく but I don't know how to say these sentences:

-I don't know how it works

-I think it worked!

-I don't think that's how it works

Thanks in advance :)

question
grammar words
How do you say something "works"?
The problem with the question is that the three sentences have completely
different meanings, even though they share the same English word. Because the
meaning of "works" in English changes depending on the context, there is no
direct translation to Japanese. Some possibilities:

> I don't know how it works

Same as "I don't know how it functions"

どういう仕組みかよくわからない

> I think it worked!

うまく行ったと思う

> I don't think that's how it works

Same as "your understanding is incorrect"
