Crossword Genius

Routed differently, finding bypass (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

detour

'bypass' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'routed differently' is the wordplay.
'differently' indicates an anagram.
'routed' is an anagram of 'DETOUR'.

'finding' is the link.

(Other definitions for detour that I've seen before include "Roundabout way or bypass" , "Deviation from the usual route" , "Deviate from planned route, go around" , "The scenic route?" , "Deviation from usual course" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
