There are three words in the English language that end in "gry".
ONE is angry and the other is hungry.
EveryONE knows what the third ONE means and what it stands for.
EveryONE uses them everyday, and if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word.
What is it? _______gry

You didn't ask that question correctly.
It should be:
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.

That's not how I have heard the riddle - It goes like the following:
Think of words ending in GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are three words in the English language. What is the third word?
Hint
If you read what I wrote carefully, I have already told you the answer.
The answer is 'language'. The first two sentences are just to throw you off. Take off the first two sentences, you get: There are three words in THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. Think of the THE in that sentence as word #1 and ENGLISH in that sentence as word #2, then LANGUAGE is the third word

There is no answer. It's an urban legend. There are some variations to this riddle and the answer could simply be 'say' or language as someone else has pointed out.
