Question

What is the third word ? That ends in letters G R Y

Answer 1

Answer Number One:

Here one answer, in a nutshell, quoted from "Gry, Gry, Everywhere, and Not a Clue In Sight", from The Word Detective, the online version of Words, Wit and Wisdom, a newspaper column that answers readers' questions about words and language, and is currently syndicated in newspapers in the U.S., Mexico and Japan. Here is the gist of what its author has to say:

Perhaps the whole puzzler is more a grade school antic than anything else. The way I heard the setup for the question was 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". We admit this is a rather stupid riddle, but then we we didn't make it up; we just answer it, over, and over, and over.

Answer Number Two:

The other answer also involves the way in which the riddle is posed, and will work only when spoken. It goes like this: "There are at least three commonly-used English words ending in 'g' or 'y'. One is 'hungry', the other is "angry'..." and so on. After the victim has been given time to be driven sufficiently nuts, the riddler is supposed to reveal the magic word, 'or', which, of course, sounded like 'r' in the spoken riddle. This one was reported in Marilyn Vos Savant's column, "Ask Marilyn", in the Parade supplement to the March 9, 1997 issue of the Arizona Republic.

Answer 2

haha, it's the same riddle again... i used to be unable to understand it... now i know what it is...

the three gry words are just to trick you. the answer is "language" because it says there are three words in "the English language." so what is the third word? it's language. everything else is put there to trick us :)

hope you understand it now...
