ogled

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'looked' is the definition.
(ogling is a kind of looking)

'go the wrong way though guided' is the wordplay.
'go the wrong way' says the letters should be written in reverse (I've seen 'goes the wrong way' mean this).
'though' becomes 'go' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'guided' becomes 'led' ('lead' can be a synonym of 'guide').
'go' reversed gives 'og'.
'og'+'led'='OGLED'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
