The answer is "language" but this person stated the riddle wrong. It suppose to go like this:

Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

And what the riddle is asking is the 3rd word in 'The English language' which is language

I have 2 answers.
1.
"Angry" and "hungry" are two words that end in "gry".
There are three words in the English language. What is the
third word? Everyone knows what it means and everyone uses it
every day. Look closely and I have already given you the
third word. What is it?

Answer: "language".

This puzzle has circulated widely on the Internet for some
years, but usually in an abbreviated form such as "Name three
common English words ending in 'gry'", which has no good third
answer.

2.
gry
Anything very small, or of little value
A measure equal to one tenth of a line.

This is a riddle and it is not fully written - Here is the full version:

Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

The Answer is "language" -- other words are just making you confused... You can answer the riddle from the following sentence:

There are only three words in *the English language*. What is the third word?

first word - the
second word - English
third world - language

Angry and hungry. I saw that joke years ago. "Angry and hungry" are three words are end with gry. It doesn't say all three words end in gry. The answer could also be hungry and angry.
