I noticed that only some time after posting clue. When 3 remaining words were cast, castle and degree my plan was to hint Perlmutter: 3. What do you think about that?

I would not have gotten those clues. Even checking Wikipedia would not have helped me. This game shows there is such a thing as getting too abstruse.

I played on New Year's Eve and got CHICK correct. That was lucky, because I wasn't sure how perverted he was trying to be with SLOT. Turns out he was talking about PORT. Oops. 

Huh, I'm surprised that LITTER was not universally recognized as a stretcher. American thing maybe?

I'm American and I didn't understand it as a stretcher.

Oh great, that probably makes it an age thing. I hate age things. You youngsters keep reminding me of it.

Draught was BEER and WELL, and enough guesses for you to win the game

In this case, according to the rules you may say "draught infinity" to indicate you are not actually thinking of six associations but rather want to say "off you go".

I would have failed all three of them. I googled and saw that the word is not used in English as mother of pearl, but that there is an author of that name who is on the low-carb bandwagon. So I'd have gone for BREAD and BEER as high-carb supplies and maybe DEGREE because, well, that guy is a medical doctor. With "Hogwarts 3", I might have guessed at least two of the three words.

Since we've gone three rounds (with a substitution), we could shake up the teams a bit. I ran our names through a randomizer and came up with these teams:

Red:
gkrieg13
rspeer
ashersky

Blue:
egork
ipofanes
Kuildeous

Then I'd propose that the first teammate be spymaster and cycle through those. Any concerns?

Following this suggestion, rspeer and me are the next spymasters. I'll randomize something.

Ipofanes, could you add a section to the original post with this information along with the current matrix so it'll be easier to find?

Let's guess torch next, assuming snowman is right.  Then you can do degree or pass.

So you want to pass here ash?  I see degree as the best option with maybe compound as a good second option. 

I'm fine with passing.

Agent is a stretch, too.

Degree is temperature related, though.  We can save it for an extra guess.

Hmm, ambitious clue. Let's see… Using spoilers only so that Egor can make his own conclusions without bias.

Definitely RABBIT and CYCLE, I think. Mother EARTH is often used as a reference to fertility. I'm shaky on the fourth one. According to astrology sites, JUPITER in the 5th house is good for fertility while SATURN is the opposite. I'm not sure how well Ipo knows astrology, so this may be a stretch.

My thoughts are RABBIT and CYCLE. EARTH if you concur. Could pass on the fourth one unless you have a thought on that.

Missed cycle, otherwise agree with your analysis. I'd investigate Roman gods (or planets) deeper tommorow
