there is : hungry, angry, and ..........
THERE IS NO COMMON THIRD WORD ENDING IN "-GRY".
Aside from "angry" and "hungry" and words derived therefrom,
there is only one word ending with "-gry" in W3: "aggry."
However, this word is defective in that it is part of a phrase
"aggry beads". The OED's usage examples all talk about "aggry
beads".
Moving to older dictionaries, we find that "gry" itself is a word
in Webster's Second Unabridged (and the OED):
gry, n. [L. gry, a trifle; Gr. gry, a grunt]
1. a measure equal to one-tenth of a line. [Obs.] (Obs. =
obsolete)
2. anything very small. [Rare.]
Not sure if it's right, so you can check the source yourself!

The riddle goes,
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.
The answer is "language" - The English Language, 3rd word is Language.
That said, "gry" is an obscure word meaning a very little bit.
