You are not interpreting nor translating the riddle correctly. See here: http://www.fun-with-words.com/word_gry_angry_hungry.html
There are only two words ending with 'gry'. The third answer you are being asked for is a play on words and is determined by the way in which you phrase the question. Your question does not create the necessary need for the third answer (or at least an answer can not both be generated and answered by your question). Hope that helps you out.

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 compound word "aggry bead." To find a third word ending in -gry that is not part of a phrase, you must turn to archaic, obsolete, or uncommon words, or personal or place names, a comprehensive list of which is given at the end of this article.

This is usually part of an old riddle. There are some other English words that end in -gry but they aren't common, like puggry. Originally the riddle was was based on wordplay, and the answer was a word in the riddle which didn't end in -gry.
