RIDDLES TIME PLEASE TELL ME IT IS KILLING ME, Please?

Question

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 everyday, and if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word. What is it? _______gry?

Answer 1

The answer is language.
It is the third word of "the English language". The question needs to be spoken, otherwise the quotation marks give away the trick

The answer is 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.

Answer 2

The version of the riddle you have given isn't the original and misses a vital part of the wording. In its original form the riddle went like this:

"Think of words that end 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."

It's all a linguistic trick and the third word in 'the English language' is of course 'language'.

Just for completeness we ought to add that there are several other words that end in 'gry', not least 'gry' itself, although that does spoil the puzzle rather:

Gry (noun) - The smallest unit in Locke's proposed decimal system of linear measurement, being the tenth of a line, the hundredth of an inch, and the thousandth of a (‘philosophical’) foot. as per Oxford dictionary.

Gry (verb) - To rage or roar. also in oxford.

So the third word is 'gry' itself!

Answer 3

I've heard this one. The infamous GRY riddle. I don't want to explain the solution in its entirety to you, but look at this link for this answer http://www.justriddlesandmore.com/gry.html

And your version of the riddle is missing several parts that can make it unsolvable. Here is the real riddle "There are three words in the English language that end in -GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for. If you listened carefully, I already told you what the word is. What is the third word?"

Answer 4

Language

Answer 5

There are many versions to this riddle, however the way it is worded leaves you with these answers, third, every or one. However the ONE is highlighted which leads one to go either way on its possibly being the correct answer. Since this question is a bit different from the original you might find the below web site interesting.

Answer 6

LANGUAGE. Its kind of a trick question. The actual question is "There are three words in THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE." The third word of that would be LANGUAGE. The rest of the riddle is just to throw you off.

Answer 7

There is no commonly used -gry word other then those listed. The obvious answer here is ONE, as it is capitalized every where you used it.

Answer 8

if you havent heard the joke before it is going to be hard to understand it because its not asking for words that end in gry but make that ending sound

Answer 9

Uhhh...one-gry?

Answer 10

The answer is "Three" It is the third word in the clue.
