Crossword Genius

Danes out of range (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

andes

'range' is the definition.
(South American mountain range)

'danes out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'danes' anagrammed gives 'ANDES'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for andes that I've seen before include "The range of llamas?" , "Mountains in west" , "A geographical feature" , "South American mountain chain" , "South American mountain system" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
