There are three words in the English language that end in "gry". ONE is angry and the other is hungry. EveryONE knows what the third ONE means and what it stands for. EveryONE uses them everyday, and if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word. What is it? _______gry?

Agree. Clever trick for this riddle. By emphasizing the ONE you are in fact telling us how many letters to add, also what they mean. A one letter word that could mean "one" is "a". Therefore, third word is agree. (A-Gry)

Depends which answer of the dozen out there you have....
"There is no other common word ending in "-gry", so how did the puzzle come about? It first appeared in print in 1975.
Perhaps the answer to the original version of the puzzle was meagry or aggry (as in "aggry bead"). There are over 100 obsolete words that end in "-gry" (see below), and these two were in use until fairly recently. However, since there is no longer a real answer to this, modern versions of the puzzle have turned from being puzzles to being riddles. There are perhaps as many as a dozen versions in circulation - each with a different answer!"
