I have a riddle for you!!!?

Question

There are three words in the English language that end in "-gry." Two words that end in "-gry" are "hungry" and "angry." Everyone knows what the third word means, and everyone uses them every day. If you listened very carefully, I have already stated to you what the third word is. What are the three words that solve this riddle?
____gry

Answer 1

I am hungry.

The question asks for THREE WORDS that end in "-gry", but does not say that they each must end in "-gry." Also you did tell us the third word in the sentence: "I am hungry" is 'hungry', right?

Answer 2

The third word is LANGUAGE - everyone knows what it means and we use it everyday , the gry - stuff is just a decoy..
The English Language...is the answer...

Hey Cakes thanks for the link , i didnt know there were so many versions of this riddle and how the answer changes with the wording or where the quotation marks are.
So i guess Porgie is correct for this version.
My answer would have been correct if the quotation marks were on "the English language" instead of "gry"
Nice 1 tweety....

Answer 3

Tweety, you worded the riddle wrong. It starts: Few words end in -gry. There are 3 words in the English language.......
And then in the end the 3rd word in "the English Language" turns out to be "language".

HOWEVER
There IS actually a third word: "aggry". It's an archaic English word that refers to a little seed or bead that people used for decoration hundreds of years ago. I don't have a source to list, it's just something I know, but you're welcome to look it up.

Edit: Sorry, your riddle may be a different version - then I ascribe to Porgie's answer.

OH, here it is: http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/aboutwords/gry?view=uk

This 'riddle' has been circulating in email for years now, in various forms of words, and had appeared in print media before that. Dictionary and reference departments the world over have been plagued by questions about it. It seems to have originated as a trick question, but the wording has become so garbled in subsequent transmission that it is hard to tell what was originally intended.

The most probable answer is that, in the original wording, the question was phrased something like this:

Think of words ending in -gry. 'Angry' and 'hungry' are two of them. What is the third word in the English language? You use it every day, and if you were listening carefully, I've just told you what it is.
The answer, of course, is 'language' (the third word in 'the English language').

There are several other English words ending in -gry which are listed in the complete Oxford English Dictionary, but none of them could be described as common. They include the trivial oddities un-angry and a-hungry, and

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!).
