aggry
or are you looking for the word gry


Actually, many words end in -gry, including gry itself, although all but angry and hungry are rare, foreign, obscure or obsolete

gry comes from Greek and means "a trifle, a very small amount, a very short line". In the latter sense it has been used as an actual unit of measurement

there are different answers to this riddle, it has been told in different ways.

Is it:

LANGUAGE?
It is the third word of "the English language". The question needs to be spoken, otherwise the quotation marks give away the trick. This version apparently originated in 1996.

-or is it-

he answer is what.
The question states that "what" is the third word, then it asks for the third word. Again this version needs to be spoken to be effective.

-or is it-

AGREE?
It is a phonetic version of the riddle, asking for words that end in the sound "gree," but tricks people into thinking about the letters g-r-y by giving the two examples.

-or is it-

ENERGY?
The question asks for a word ending with the three letters g-r-y, but does not stipulate that they must be in that order.

-or is it-

SAY?
The question must be said in such a way that the word "or" sounds like the letter "r". Once more, to be effective it is crucial that this version is spoken rather than printed. This version is first known to have appeared in 1997.

-or is it-

I AM HUNGRY?
The question asks for three words that end in "-gry", but does not say that they each must end in "-gry."

-or is it-

THREE?
It is the third word in the question, and the rest of the question is irrelevant: a red herring designed to put the solver off.



Is it any of those answers?
