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.
It is the third word of "the English language". The question needs to be spoken, otherwise the quotation marks give away the trick. This version apparently originated in 1996.

According to Wikipedia: "Aside from words derived from "angry" and "hungry," there is no stand-alone word ending in "gry" that is in current usage."

In the website I listed as my source there's a list of obsolete english words ending in -gry
