What is the 3rd word?

Question

In the dictionary there are only 3 words which end with 'gry'. 1st is angry, 2nd is hungry, what is the third?

I've searched a lot for the answer but havent found it.

Answer 1

There a a lot of theories to this riddle.
First answer is "gry" which is an actual word.

The second answer is "Language" which would make no sense in your case because you told the riddle "wrong".

The original version goes:
hink of words ending in “gry”.
Angry and hungry are two of them.
There are only three words in the English language.
What is the third word?
The word is something that everyone uses every day.
If you have listened carefully,
I have already told you what it is.

Answer 2

gry is a word but I think meagry could be the answer...
but there may not be an answer...as people can't agree the true wording of the original question.
some people believe that the original puzzle is supposed to be:

"There are only 3 words in the English language, all adjectives, which end in -gry. Two are angry and hungry; the third word describes the state of the world today. What is it?"

while there are "nearly one hundred" words ending in -gry, none of them are common. But only one of them (besides angry and hungry) is an adjective, and that is meagry, a word found in the Oxford English Dictionary which means "meager."

Answer 3

well gry is a word!!
on dictionary.com it says the answer is language!:/

"Angry" and "hungry" are two words 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?

Answer: "language".

This puzzle has circulated widely on the Internet for some years, but usually in an abbreviated form such as "Name three common English words ending in 'gry'", which has no good third answer.

Answer 4

This is the (presumed) original version of the puzzle from 1975. The possible answers (if obsolete words, names, and hyphenated compounds of "angry" and "hungry" are allowed) are plentiful. Most of the 124 listed below were in the 1933 edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, and all have appeared in some major dictionary of English:


meagry or aggry
