what are the three wortds that end with -gry?

Answer 1

There are only 2, angry and hungry. It's a riddle that originally went like 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".

There are several other versions of this riddle including the one about the third word being "language", but ultimately it boils down to a riddle.

Answer 2

The answer is actually "language." If you click here it'll give you an explination:

But here's my explination. Here's the originall riddle:

"There are three words in the English language that end in GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for. If you listened carefully, I already told you what the word is."

It says there are three words IN "the English language". They mean there are three words IN THE PHRASE. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. (This sentence has nothing to do with it.) The third one (the third word IN the phrase) everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for.

The third word in the phrase: "The English language" is of course "language." Everyone uses that EVERYDAY. The thing about HUNGRY and ANGRY is just trying to distract you. It's a riddle after all!

Tip: Try following riddles by the letter or words, not by what they say!

Answer 3
