Copied from the below website:
Here is one answer, in a nutshell, quoted from "Gry, Gry, Everywhere, and Not a Clue In Sight", from The Word Detective, the online version of Words, Wit and Wisdom, a newspaper column that answers readers' questions about words and language, and is currently syndicated in newspapers in the U.S., Mexico and Japan. Here is the gist of what its author has to say:
Perhaps the whole puzzler is more a grade school antic than anything else. The way I heard the setup for the question was this:
There are three words in the English language that end with "gry." One is hungry and the other is angry. What is the third word? Everyone uses this word every day, everyone knows what it means, and knows what it stands for. If you have listened very closely I have already told you the third word.
If you read the second sentence you see that the "third" word is "hungry".
The author is writing here about the third word in the second sentence of the riddle, exactly as quoted, NOT some mythical third commonly used English word ending in "-gry". We admit this is a rather stupid riddle, but then we we didn't make it up; we just answer it, over, and over, and over.

Gry is a word. It's a measurement equal to one-tenth of a line, created by a man named Locke.

It's quite often given that the asker forgets or does not trouble to decide on the great reply. I feel a few individuals return and appear at questions that they have got spoke back and if they are "In Voting" they vote for his or her reply. If no one else votes for a further reply then they are going to win great reply by way of default. This quite often explains why frequently dumb, unhealthy or flawed replies are picked as "great reply". I do not particularly care if my reply is selected as great. But if I make an effort to style out a significant, respectable reply to any person's query it is first-rate to get a minimum of a 'thanks' while the decide upon the great reply. When I decide on a great reply to a query I ask I attempt to thank the opposite customers who gave well solutions (and chastise ones that provide dull or insensitive solutions)

The answer to the infernal question is that there is no answer, at least no satisfactory answer."
