Visitors having no time to judge, given little information (5)

I believe the answer is:

guess

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

'judge given little information' is the definition.
'guess' can be an answer for 'judge' (synonyms). I'm not certain of the 'given little information' bit.

'visitors having no time' is the wordplay.
'visitors' becomes 'guests' (guest is a kind of visitor).
'having no' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'guests' with 't' taken away is 'GUESS'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for guess that I've seen before include "Estimate on the basis of little information" , "Fancy" , "Reckon" , "Make stab at" , "Speculate" .)
