Look greedily

Answer:

OGLE

Hint:

Think of how someone might stare at a tempting dessert or an eye-catching display—it’s more than just looking, but not quite as intense as a glare.

Explanation:

"Look greedily" hints at staring in a way that’s a little too intense or lingering. The answer "OGLE" fits because it means to gaze at someone (or something) with desire or curiosity, often in a bold or obvious way. It’s a straightforward definition with no wordplay—just a direct match for the clue’s meaning. Think of someone eyeing a dessert they really want or glancing a little too long at someone attractive.
