This is an old riddle, but you didn't state it properly to make it the riddle that it is supposed to be. However, there are 5 words in the English language that end in gry--
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, five words in the English language end in -gry. In addition to the common angry and hungry:
aggry, a glass bead found buried in the earth in Ghana.
puggry, a light scarf wound around a hat or helmet to protect the head from the sun, and
meagry, of meager appearance.

Angry and hungry. There is no other common word in the english language that ends in gry. There are of course others, but not commonly used words. This is an old one.

angry
hungry
and..
the third word is gry.
Have you not heard that riddle? "There are three English words ending with -gry. Two of them are hungry and angry. The third word is very common; in fact you have just encountered it. What is the third word?"
Gry is the third word. And what exactly is gry? A hundredth of an inch and a thousandth of a "philosophical foot."

after searching the Internet for an answer in finding this 3d "gry" word I couldn't find anything and as I so there is actually many people trying to invent a third word that ends in gry but it is said that this is a joke and its no such a 3d word that ends in "gry"!

angry and hungry are the only two. There is no commonly used third word that is used unless you count the word 'energy' which is r-g-y but not in the correct order.
The other words that DO end with 'gry' are obscure and wouldn't do you any good to know them.
