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 phrase "aggry bead." To find a third word ending in "gry" that is not part of a phrase, you must turn to obsolete words or personal or place names. A list of 130 of these is given at the end of this article.
This puzzle has no good answer, yet it has become the most frequently asked word puzzle. The regular readers of the Usenet newsgroup rec.puzzles have coined the word "nugry" to describe a (presumably) new reader who posts a frequently asked question.

im not sure if you kno or not, but in order to get the correct answer to this (which is not a word ending in -gry) you need to phrase it properly:
There are three words in the English language that end in 'gry'. One is 'angry' and the other is 'hungry.' Everyone knows what the third one means, and what it stands for. Everyone uses them every day and, if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word.
the answer is language. not a real, english word ending in -gry.
sorry.

It depends on your interpretation of the riddle.
Angry, hungry, and simply "gry" are all words.
"Gry
\Gry\, n. [Gr ? syllable, bit.] 1. A measure equal to one tenth of a line. [Obs.] --Locke.
2. Anything very small, or of little value."
Energy is a possible answer, depending. Nowhere does it state what order the letters come in.
Several other answers as well.

angry ,hungry, puggry, gry (on its own). There are several other words ending in gry but they are obsolete.

I don't think there are many. Angry and Hungry are the only ones I can think of.
