Crossword Genius

Misinformed, I led a lot astray (4,1,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

told a lie

'misinformed' is the definition.
(telling a lie is a kind of misinforming)

'i led a lot astray' is the wordplay.
'astray' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'led'+'a'+'lot'='iledalot'
'iledalot' with letters rearranged gives 'TOLD A LIE'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
