How to approach it
Treat the prompt as an invitation to enumerate, not to guess a single clever example. Sketch five or six broad families first — things that float, things that fly, things that crawl on tracks, things that slide on ice, and things that ride a cushion of air — then open each family into the sub-types you can actually name. The scoring rewards specificity: a plain everyday word competes with everyone else's plain everyday word, while a precise technical or regional term lands in a sparser pool. Give yourself a time budget, write down every candidate without judging it, and only afterwards cut the ones that secretly roll. Volume matters here as much as novelty, so keep going until the list stops growing.
Get a hint
Start with the largest families of conveyances and ask how each one stays supported: on water, in the air, on ice, on tracks, or on a cushion of something other than rubber.
A little more
Once a family comes to mind, list the named variants inside it instead of the everyday word, because specialised types are what the reveal rewards.
One step further
Work through the vocabulary of trades and public services — catching, carrying, digging, charting, guarding, saving, studying — since each trade coined its own named craft.

Why these answers count
The reveal is enormous — over a thousand entries — and almost all of the accepted answers sit in one flat band at 85 points, which tells you the grader treated the field as a catalogue rather than a shortlist. That band is stuffed with named hull types, from working craft such as Anchor handling tug and Aquatic weed harvester to historic rigs like Balinger and Baghlah, alongside flying machines such as Aerobatic aircraft and AWACS. Because so many of these were recorded, any single one of them earns a solid but unremarkable score. The 60-point tier held 132 answers, presumably the more obvious picks that a broad share of players reached first. Only two entries broke away at 100: Ground-effect vehicle and Iceboat, both accepted yet rarely volunteered. The lesson is that obscurity pays only at the margin — a specialised term inside a well-populated family beats a common word, while the very rarest accepted answers are worth double.
