Lot of ice in stream, we hear (4)
I believe the answer is:
floe
'lot of ice' is the definition.
'floe' can be an answer for 'ice' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'lot of' bit.
'stream we hear' is the wordplay.
'stream' becomes 'flow' (synonyms).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'flow' sounds like 'FLOE'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for floe that I've seen before include "Frozen field" , "Broken piece of pack-ice" , "Floating flat mass of ice" , "Flat mass of sea ice" , "Comparatively small piece of floating ice" .)
