Befoe getting started on the new clue, given the LOCK fiasco I had begun to wonder if Teleporation => Far Travel => JET/PLANE/TRIP.... was the intended link rather than the science fiction angle. But that didn't really help me think of any more Teleportation words.

So, Propeller for 1-3 words, two of which must overlap with Teleportation. Assuming that the first three words were all proper Wailing hits ...

PLANE - seems obvious, may overlap with Teleportation
TAIL - there are cartoon/game characters who use their tails as propellers
LITTER - it's a form of propulsion for the one being carried in it. Just possibly some overlaps between the porters who carry it and Teleportation?

Also, JET is an antonym for Propellor when talking about aircraft, so maybe that's the assassin ... 

I need to read the spoilers and come back to this in the evening.

I strongly favour PLANE and TAIL and think it`s safe to go for those words first and then reassess.

Point to Plane

Well, I would have fully supported that decision alright .

Oh well, it might be a tricky board.

Well, that's proof that there's still something about our clues I'm not seeing. Just got to hope the red team has tricky words left.

Apple, King?  Atlantis is probably Blue.

Edit: also, Dave may have been right that King was a "Play" word, and we lucked out on Day.

Edit edit: only other option I see is "Bear", but I feel like Bear & Apple or Bear & King are easier to clue together than Apple + King


Ultimately, there's several fairytales involving a King, and while I can only think of one with an Apple, I'm also struggling to come up with more than one for Bear, and Sleeping Beauty seems more obvious to me than the Three Little Bears.

Not as unambiguous as I hoped for our last clue, with 2 words left no less. I can see a few possibilities, in roughly descending order:

KING
APPLE
SPIKE
NAIL

I can also see ATLANTIS, but think we should leave that for blue.

edit: Wasn't there a princess who fell asleep by having pricked a finger? That's where SPIKE and NAIL come from, although APPLE is still stronger.

ATLANTIS is kind of a fairy tale
I know there's a very popular anime called Fairy Tale (Tail?), but I'm not sure if any of the words match it. I think Bob is our team's anime expert, maybe he sees a connection? I've seen bits of it while my son watched it, and I vaguely remember that the main character is trying to become the pirate KING?

I was going to say BEAR and APPLE for my top two, but I'm not so sure after reading the other spoilers.
