angry
hungry

i just looked it up, that's it. there are a bunch of words from middle english like higry-pigry and meagry, but that's not what you're looking for.

you're actually trying to ask a riddle, but you got it mixed up a bit.
here it goes: think of three words that end in -gry. hungry and angry are two of them, what is the third word in the english language? you use it every day, and if you read carefully, you'll see that i just said it.

the answer is language (the third word in "the english language")

There really are only 2 words in the English language, at least that are still used. Angry and Hungry

The auld riddle 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.

Actually, the letters "gry" are a word in themselves. Gry: is the cry of a pig. Not in common use today.

The -Gry Puzzle is a popular puzzle that asks for the third English word, other than "angry" and "hungry," that ends with the letters "gry." Aside from words derived from "angry" and "hungry," there is no stand-alone word ending in "gry" that is in current usage. Both Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged (Merriam-Webster, Inc., 2002, ISBN 0-87779-201-1) and the Oxford English Dictionary, Second Edition (Oxford University Press, 1989, ISBN 0-19-861186-2) contain the phrase "aggry bead." To find a third word ending in "gry" that is not part of a phrase, you must turn to obsolete words or personal or place names. A list of 130 of these is given at the end of this article.
This puzzle has no good answer, yet it has become the most frequently asked word puzzle. The regular readers of the Usenet newsgroup rec.puzzles have coined the word "nugry" to describe a (presumably) new reader who posts a frequently asked question.
