This is actually a riddle, but I found a few actual words to answer your question, as well as some links to shed some light on the riddle.
* aggry, a glass bead found buried in the earth in Ghana.
* puggry, a light scarf wound around a hat or helmet to protect the head from the sun, and
* meagry, of meager appearance.
mawgry -- from Old French: being regarded with displeasure.

This is a very well-known question. It's a trick question.
The original question is phrased something like:
There are three words in the English language that end in -gry. One is "hungry" and the other is "angry." What is the third word?
or
"Angry" and "Hungry" are two of three words in the English language that end in -gry. What is the third word?
Your answer is "hungry" because it is the third word in the sentence/ question.
(This is exactly the same sort of trick question as, Q: "Mississippi is a long word. Can you spell it?" A: I-T.
