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.
The answer is agree.
It is a phonetic version of the riddle, asking for words that end in the sound "gree," but tricks people into thinking about the letters g-r-y by giving the two examples.
The answer is what.
The question states that "what" is the third word, then it asks for the third word. Again this version needs to be spoken to be effective.
The answer is energy.
The question asks for a word ending with the three letters g-r-y, but does not stipulate that they must be in that order.
The answer is I am hungry.
The question asks for three words that end in "-gry", but does not say that they each must end in "-gry."
The answer is three.
It is the third word in the question, and the rest of the question is irrelevant: a red herring designed to put the solver off.
Didn't kill my brain. There are many versions of your question but I have memorized all of them.

Actually I think you'll find you have written that all wrong. The correct version is 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."
To which the answer is 'language'
Alternatively:
Words in the English language that end in "gry"
aggry: variegated glass beads of ancient manufacture, mentioned by various 19th-century writers as having been found buried in parts of Africa.
begry: an obsolete 15th-century spelling of the word 'beggary' (i.e., extreme poverty).
conyngry: an obsolete 17th-century spelling of the even more obsolete word 'conynger' (like 'cunningaire' and 'conygarth,' a term meaning 'rabbit warren').
gry: a unit of measurement proposed by English philosopher John Locke in his 1690 "Essay Concerning Human Understanding."
higry-pigry: a corruption (along with 'hickery-pickery' and 'hicra picra') of the Greek 'hiera picra' (approximately 'sacred bitters'), a term for many
medicines in the Greek pharmacopoeia, particularly a purgative drug composed of aloes and canella bark.
iggry: an early 20th century British army slang borrowing from the Arabic 'ijri, meaning 'Hurry up!"
meagry: a rare and obsolete early 17th-century variant meaning 'meager-looking.'
menagry: obsolete 18th-century alternate spelling of 'menagerie.'
nangry: a rare and obsolete 17th-century variant of 'angry.'
podagry: a 17th-century variant spelling of 'podagra,' a medical lexicon term for 'gout.'
puggry: a 19th-century alternate spelling of 'puggaree' or 'puggree,' derived from the Hindi 'pagri,' a word for a light turban or head covering worn in India.

So ner...
