what 3 words end with the letters gry?

Answer 1

angry, hungry, aggry, puggry,and the word gry itself

Answer 2

angry
hungry

This isn't a phrase but it is included here as many people search this site looking for the mythical 'third word ending in GRY'. If you are one such, read the explanation below and relax - you can stop searching. The story goes like this:

A riddle of this form is circulating widely on the Internet:

"There are three words in English that end in GRY, hungry and angry are two, what is the third?"

Much effort has gone into finding the word and various pseudo-medical or otherwise obscure words that purport to fit the bill have been put forward. The confusion comes from the fact that the version of the riddle in circulation isn't the original and misses a vital part of the wording. In its original form the riddle went like this:

"Think of words that end 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."

You will have realized by now that it's all a linguistic trick and the third word in 'the English language' is of course 'language'.

Just for completeness we ought to add that there are several other words that end in 'gry', not least 'gry' itself, although that does spoil the puzzle rather:

Gry (noun) - The smallest unit in Locke's proposed decimal system of linear measurement, being the tenth of a line, the hundredth of an inch, and the thousandth of a (‘philosophical’) foot.

For example, from 1679 John Locke's Letters to Boyle, 1679:

"The longest ... was three inches and nine grys long, and one inch seven lines in girt."

Gry (verb) - To rage or roar.

For example, from Richard Crew's Tasso's Godfrey of Bulloigne, 1594:

"The hearing this doth force the Tyrant gry, With threatfull sound."

So, now you can give up the search and move on to more useful pastimes.

Answer 3

There are a few English words that end in -gry, including, but not limited to, the following words in our dictionaries: aggry, angry, hungry, and puggry. There are at least a hundred more you can find in the Oxford English Dictionary, dialect dictionaries, gazetteers and onomasticons, but none of them are common. Some are simply hyphenated items like "dog-hungry" and "ever-angry" while others are variants like "begry" (for beggary) and "higry pigry" (a variation of hierapicra). There is even a word "gry," which is an obsolete unit of measure equaling 0.008 inches.

Answer 4

hurr no one has ever post THIS before!

The -Gry Puzzle is a popular puzzle that asks for the third English word, other than "angry" and "hungry," that ends with the letters "gry." Aside from words derived from "angry" and "hungry," there is no stand-alone word ending in "gry" that is in current usage. Both Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged (Merriam-Webster, Inc., 2002, ISBN 0-87779-201-1) and the Oxford English Dictionary, Second Edition (Oxford University Press, 1989, ISBN 0-19-861186-2) contain the phrase "aggry bead." To find a third word ending in "gry" that is not part of a phrase, you must turn to obsolete words or personal or place names. A list of 130 of these is given at the end of this article.

Answer 5

The three words that end with the letters "gry" are either
"I am hungry"
or
"I am angry"

It's not asking for three words that each end with "gry", just a series of three words in which the last three letters end with "gry".

"Angry" and "hungry" are the only two words in the English language that end with the letters "gry", hence the 3 word riddle.

Answer 6

There are only two commonly used words ending in gry - Angry & Hungry.

Unless they can change position, when words like Energy become a part of the answer.

Then you could always go for something like "I am angry" - those three words end in gry.

Or spendinG youR moneY, again 3 words ending in G R Y

Answer 7

The elevation of the quiz to an unanswerable one as done by one answerer invoking the authorities of standard dictionaries is not deserved as seen from various alternatives suggested by many other answers. Here are a few more

Thuggry-Deceptiveness

Pugry-Behind the back deposit for hiring a premises

Jaggry-A sweet

(These are words of Indian origin which have,however,acquired a place of honour in English)

Druddgry-An uninteresting, tiring job

Viagry-Persona addicted to Vigra

If you think hard enough you can come across many more. So if this was some standard joke having no third alternative(in current usage of the word) it is no more so.
