There are three English words ending in "-gry". Two are "angry" and "hungry". What is the third one?
There is no other common word ending in "-gry", so how did the puzzle come about? It first appeared in print in 1975.
Perhaps the answer to the original version of the puzzle was meagry or aggry (as in "aggry bead"). There are over 100 obsolete words that end in "-gry" and these two were in use until fairly recently. However, since there is no longer a real answer to this, modern versions of the puzzle have turned from being puzzles to being riddles. There are perhaps as many as a dozen versions in circulation - each with a different answer!

language or GRY is also a word in the english dictionary meaning horse.
or heres more: aggry, a burial bead from Ghana, puggry, a scarf worn around the neck in India to protect the head from the sun, and anhungry, an obsolete form of hungry that was used once in one of Shakespeare's less-popular plays (Coriolanus, Act I, Scene I, line 209); this association with the Bard is enough to earn it a place in Merriam-Webster's Third New International
or: Gry is also, alone by itself, a word. In fact it's two completely separate words that can be found in large unabridged English dictionaries. (According to Merriam-Webster's Second New International (unabridged) Dictionary of the English Language, originally published in 1934, both are pronounced to rhyme with "cry.") One gry comes from Romany (the language of the Gypsies) and means "horse". The other 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
BUT IN ALL HONESTY, THERE IS NO OTHER WORD THAT ENDS IN GRY.
THERE IS NO ANSWER TO THIS PUZZLE. EVERYONE CAN GROAN NOW. WE'VE BEEN TRICKED.

the word is ....language........
. Think of words ending 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.
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. This version apparently originated in 1996.

the answer is language. This is an old puzzle. There are many words that end in gry but all but 2 are obsolete. You shoulda put "the english language" in quotations.

If you read the question out loud, then the only word that fits is "agree".
