Hmm. Do I rando an answer to try for the win?

Istanbul is a port in Turkey.

Card - I don't see an association
Cricket - I don't think cricket is big here
Flute - again. no association
India - another region in Asia
Kiwi - nothing
Novel - Is there a novel titled Istanbul? I think so.
Opera - Maybe an opera set in Istanbul
Pumpkin - not known for pumpkins
Stock - has some carry-over from port
Water - has some carry-over from port
Wind - no doubt it is windy, and the winds of change have blown across Istanbul for centuries.

Novel

My inclination is to go for it. On the other hand, there is the concept of "trust your partner". I'm torn between flute and wind as a Hail Mary.

&...?

I guess I'll look at pairs to see if I can eliminate anything with more direct clues to cricket & maybe see if I'm missing an inside word.

Card + Cricket = ...game I think?
Flute + Cricket = noisy maybe? Kinda hard with Opera blocker
India + Cricket = like Tendulkar or something?
Kiwi + Cricket = Doesn't matter, last clue would have been tree 3
Opera + Cricket = Singing maybe? Crickets don't really sing, but I think that would clear piano out.
Pumpkin + Cricket = I dunno, but pumpkins can't be considered to chirp I don't think
Stock + Cricket = wonder if ticker would get there? I don't hate stock for unknown reasons.
Water + Cricket = Dunno, maybe some kind of water bug? Tea? Can water chirp?
Wind + Cricket = Not sure. Does the wind chirp?

Kiwi is a bird & birds chirp, but that clue should always be animals.

So 5 of my words need to be inside words...

Stadium - maybe
Pyramid - maybe
Plane - maybe
Ambulance - maybe
Well - maybe
Apple - no
Bark - no
Cricket - no

That didn't really help...

There's also 1 blue Istanbul word out there that I should keep in mind, but not speculate on.

Screw it, I was about to narrow it down & blah blah blah, but I think/hope it has to be flute. I can picture them making chirpy noises & hopefully this is just an attempt to avoid the opera blocker...

So if i go 5 and you are not sure and then I go 5 again, it’s always the same 5

A person goes inside those 5 and the differentiation was that they were built objects

Well was the biggest stretch for inside but Timmy fell down the well and Dark Knight Returns was in a well

I had to go for 5 even if it took two clues bc I didn’t have any trios on my board so it was gonna take me 5 turns otherwise

Yeah maybe but I didn’t think of built the first time

I figured I’d go broad and then narrow in clue 2

Looks like we're blue this game, so Eric is up. He has the board.
