Given false or confusing information (6)

I believe the answer is:

misled

(Other definitions for misled that I've seen before include "Given the wrong idea" , "Cause someone to go in the wrong direction" , "Sent in the wrong direction or deceived" , "Smiled (anag)" , "Gave a wrong impression to (someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
