angry; hungry; gry. A gry measures 0.008 of an inch--but it is an obsolete term.

angry, hungry,
OK so fillagry is actually spelled filligree.

Since all the rest of the words ending in "gry" are entirely esoteric, I'm going to make some up.

Bluegry (means blue grey)
Burgry (when surgery goes wrong)
Murgry (when you marry Marjorie)
Sudokurgry (when you get extremely frustrated trying to solve a Sudoku puzzle.)

aggry: aggry beads, according to various 19th-century writers, are coloured glass beads found buried in the ground in parts of Africa.
begry: a 15th-century spelling of beggary.
conyngry: a 17th-century spelling of the obsolete word conynger, meaning 'rabbit warren', which survives in old English field names such as 'Conery' and 'Coneygar'.
gry: the name for a hundredth of an inch in a long-forgotten decimal system of measurement devised by the philosopher John Locke (and presumably pronounced to rhyme with 'cry').
higry-pigry: an 18th-century rendition of the drug hiera picra.
iggry: an old army slang word meaning 'hurry up', borrowed from Arabic.
meagry: a rare obsolete word meaning 'meagre-looking'.
menagry: an 18th-century spelling of menagerie.
nangry: a rare 17th-century spelling of angry.
podagry: a 17th-century spelling of podagra, a medical term for gout.
puggry: a 19th-century spelling of the Hindi word pagri (in English usually puggaree or puggree), referring either to a turban or to a piece of cloth worn around a sun-helmet.
skugry: 16th-century spelling of the dialect word scuggery meaning 'secrecy' (the faint echo of 'skulduggery' is quite accidental!).

Today,there are only two commonly used words in the English language ending in gry. Angry and Hungry. The above words are centuries old and not common place today.
