You're referring to a riddle that has become mucked up with errors in time.
The riddle goes something like..."Think of words ending in E or Y. Hungry and Angry are two of them. There are three words in the english language, what is the third word."
The answer is "language." (third word in 'the english language')
However, this riddle has been circulating the internet written incorrectly. It now reads something like
"There are three words in the English language ending in GRY (not true)...blah blah blah"
If you NEED an answer, use "Gry." It is an archaic word, but it answers the riddle. But in reality, there is no answer to the circulating version of the riddle

the only other word i know which ends in gry has just been coined and it is a cross between the two words hungry and angry and it is hangry.no kidding.
it means that crabby feeling you get when you have not eaten for some time.

As far as I am concern, in your sentence, it is already in the form of a word. gry and not g, r and y.
For its meaning? Well... none come up from me so far but it had been a word from you. :oP
