Angry and hungry of course.
But if you received that e-mail, tell your friend the answer is language because it says:
There are three words in THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. the is the first word in the phrase THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, english is the second. and Language is the third. Later they ask what the third is. The question is asking what is the third word in THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, so it would be language.
aggry: aggry beads, according to various 19th-century writers, are coloured glass beads found buried in the ground in parts of Africa.
begry: a 15th-century spelling of beggary.
conyngry: a 17th-century spelling of the obsolete word conynger, meaning 'rabbit warren', which survives in old English field names such as 'Conery' and 'Coneygar'.
gry: the name for a hundredth of an inch in a long-forgotten decimal system of measurement devised by the philosopher John Locke (and presumably pronounced to rhyme with 'cry').
higry-pigry: an 18th-century rendition of the drug hiera picra.
iggry: an old army slang word meaning 'hurry up', borrowed from Arabic.
meagry: a rare obsolete word meaning 'meagre-looking'.
menagry: an 18th-century spelling of menagerie.
nangry: a rare 17th-century spelling of angry.
podagry: a 17th-century spelling of podagra, a medical term for gout.
puggry: a 19th-century spelling of the Hindi word pagri (in English usually puggaree or puggree), referring either to a turban or to a piece of cloth worn around a sun-helmet.
skugry: 16th-century spelling of the dialect word scuggery meaning 'secrecy' (the faint echo of 'skulduggery' is quite accidental!).

Go to the library. Ask the librarian for a "reverse dictionary." Also ask for a "rhyming dictionary." In the rhyming dictionary you'll find every word in the English language rhyming with words ending with -gry.
