There are 3 words in the English language that end with "gry"; hungry, angry. What's the 3rd?

Answer 1

* 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!).

Answer 2

You have mis-stated this old riddle so that it no longer has an answer. It's supposed to be "what's the third word in the English language?" The answer is "language", but "what is the 3?" messes the question up. I assume you didn't know the answer yourself, so didn't understand the importance of using the exact phrase? There are many archaic words in the English language that end in "gry - "pigry" seems most appropriate, but none of them are used everyday by everyone. There is a possible answer of "one" given that you used it three times in the question so by a warped logic that might make it in your mind the "third word", but I don't regard that as a valid riddle.

Answer 3

the answer is "language." in the phrase "the English language" language is the 3rd word. You basically pretend they didnt even say the other part of the sentence "that end with 'gry': hungry, angry." take that out and the question says "There are 3 words in the ENglish language. What's the 3rd?" there you have it: the answer is language.

Answer 4

The answer is quite simple. The riddle is worded incorrectly, having been mangled by too many people as it has been passed along. It should read as follows:

************************
Angry and hungry are two words in the English language that end in 'gry.' There are three words in the English language. What is the third word? Everyone knows what it means and everyone uses it every day. Look closely and I have already given you the third word. What is it?
************************

The answer is not even remotely related to the words that end in "gry." That is thrown in to confuse people. The important sentences are the second and third ones. The first sentence states the fact that there are three words in "the English language." The third sentence asks you what is the third word in "the English language."

The answer is "language," since it is the third word in the riddle phrase of "the English language."

Answer 5

The third word is actually "language". It's a riddle-- 1 the, 2 english, 3 language.

Answer 6

This is intended to be unanswerable. There are no common words that end in "gry." Meagry is an uncommon one that does.

Answer 7

Aggry
Applied to a kind of variegated glass beads of ancient manufacture
