if that's how you ask it, I'll give you facts =)
there are not just 3 words that end in "-gry"
here's a list of few words that ends in "-gry" (some are obsolete though)
1. angry
2. hungry
3. unangry
4. meagry (obsolete)
5. aggry
6. gry
7. onegry
8. podagry
9. puggry (obsolete)
10. nangry (obsolete)
11. conyngry (obsolete)
12. braggry (obsolete)
but if ur question is taken from this riddle:
RIDDLE 1:
There are two words that end with “gry”.
Angry is one and hungry is another.
What is the third word.
Everyone uses it every day and
Everyone knows what it means.
If you have been listening,
I have already told you what the word is.
The answer for that is: "WHAT" because the third line is not a question (no question mark) so it is more like a declaration: What is the third word.
But there is another version of the riddle:
RIDDLE 2:
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 answer here is: LANGUAGE. it being the third word in "the english language"
Another version which is best done orally because it relies on the verbal trickery to confuse the quickly-said “g or y” with “gry”:
RIDDLE 3:
There are at least three words
In the English language that end in g or y.
One of them is “hungry”, and another one is “angry”.
There is a third word, a short one,
Which you probably say every day.
If you are listening carefully to everything I say,
You just heard me say it three times.
What is it?
The answer here is: SAY
dont thank me. thank the genius, Michael Quinion.

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.
