Hangmany

Similar to the final round of that popular TV game show (but minus the ageless androids who serve as host and hostess), the word game below provides the category, some of the letters in the answer, and a list of misses (i.e. letters that were already guessed but don't appear in the answer).  A hint (akin to a crossword-puzzle clue) is also given, to help narrow things down for you.  Can you solve the puzzle in 20 seconds or less, or are you going to choke?
