A clippit from a link explaining.....
"Here is the riddle in its original form (going back about 20 years):
"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."
In its proper, original form, the first two sentences have absolutely nothing to do with the question: "Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them." Ignore those two sentences. They are there only to throw you off course. (And it worked, didn't it?) What's left is the actual riddle itself: "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 key is the phrase "the English language." In this three-word phrase, the third word is simply the word "language." Get it? "Language" is definitely something that "everyone uses every day"! Without that quirky little twist, the puzzle would be just another trivia question, not a riddle."

In the ongoing evolution of the English language this trick question can not be considered a trick question anymore as there are really quite a few words that end in "gry", even gry is a word itself. But analyzing the sender's question and disregarding all the statement before the question , his question will be " what is 3rd ? The answer should be number three in a sequence.

Please stop it.
This question has been hopelessly asked and reasked and reasked
Do you want "Gry", do you want "anhungry", do you want "puggry"?
If you go up to the "Search for questions" bart at the top, voila!
