Actually, there are some more words that end in -gry.
But there is a riddle about your question:
"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 other words are -
gry -The smallest unit in Locke’s proposed decimal system of linear measurement, being the tenth of a line
podagry - Dodder, or the condition of a plant infested with it
braggry - A variant form of braggery. Obsolete.
conyngry - an obsolete term meaning “rabbit warren”.
aggry - Coloured and variegated ancient glass beads, found buried in the ground in Africa
meagry - Having a meagre appearance. Obsolete.
puggry - a light turban or head-covering worn by people of the Indian subcontinent

language
three words in " The English Language"
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

The word is now considered obsolete, but it's "anhungry."
