I typed "*gry" into my Franklin Merriam-WEbster dictionary and thesaurus, and the only two words it found are the two you have mentioned.\n\nThis is frustrating! maybe is it an acronym... __GRY?\n\n......\n(After reading responses...))\noooo tricky tricky!!

The answer is "every," and the logic is as follows: There are three words, ending g, r and y. The first is "fuming," ending in g and meaning angry. The second is "eager," ending in r and meaning hungry. The third is "every," ending in y and clearly something that the word "everyone" uses.

gry\n\nGry &#92;Gry&#92;, n. [Gr ? syllable, bit.] 1. A measure equal to one tenth of a line. [Obs.] --Locke.\n\n2. Anything very small, or of little value. [R.]\n____________________________________________________\n\nI think the puzzle actually goes like this:\n<puzzle> "Angry" and "hungry" are two words that end in "gry".\nThere are three words in the English language. What is the\nthird word? Everyone knows what it means and everyone uses it\nevery day. Look closely and I have already given you the\nthird word. What is it?\n\nAnswer: "language".

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.\n\nGry is also an obsolete unit of measurement, equal to 1/10 of a line, which is in turn 1/12 of an inch. Hence, a gry is 1/120 inch or about 0.212 mm. \nThe -Gry Puzzle is a popular puzzle that asks for the third English word, other than "angry" and "hungry," that ends with the letters "gry." Aside from words derived from "angry" and "hungry," there is no stand-alone word ending in "gry" that is in current usage. Both Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged (Merriam-Webster, Inc., 2002, ISBN 0877792011) and the Oxford English Dictionary, Second Edition (Oxford University Press, 1989, ISBN 0198611862) contain the phrase "aggry bead." To find a third word ending in "gry" that is not part of a phrase, you must turn to obsolete words or personal or place names. A list of 130 of these is given at the end of this article.\n\nSo, basically, this puzzle has no good answer. Yet it has become the most frequently asked word puzzle. It is so common that it is a standing joke [1] on the Stumpers reference librarian list server [2] that it's time to change your car's oil when it is asked anew. The regular readers of the Usenet newsgroup rec.puzzles [3] coined the word "nugry" [4] to describe a (presumably) new reader who posts a frequently asked question.

Think of words ending in -gry.  Hungry and Angry are 2 of them.  There are only 3 words in The English Language.  What's the third word?  I don't know if I should tell you the answer.  if you want me to email me your email address at slowslow325@yahoo.com and ask for the answer.  I have another one.  You are trapped in a hallway and you want to get out.  The only way out are 3 doors.  You have to pick which door you want to go through.  Each door leads to a room.  Each room leads to a door that goes out.  In the first room there is a lot of poisoinous spiders.  The second room is on fire.  The third room has 5 man eating lions that haven't eaten in 3 years.  Which room would be easiest to go through and get out?\n\nYou're in a locked car with a glass of water.  How do you get out?

Bobby... that riddle doesn't really work if you write it down...heh.\n\nThe catch is to tell it to someone fast and quickly, to confuse them. If you write it down, it becomes easy.

I don't think you phrased this correctly.  It's supposed to be a trick question- but it does have answers.\n\nFor example:\n\nThere are three words in the English language that end in the letters g-r-y. Two are "hungry" and "angry." Everyone knows what the third word means, and everyone uses it every day. What is the third word? \n\nThe answer is "energy." The riddle says that the word ends in the letters g-r-y; it says nothing about the order of the letters.

You're telling it wrong. This is how it should go.\n\n"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two. 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." \n \nAnd the answer is Language. "The English Language."

This  \npuzzler may indeed "KILL YOUR BRAIN!" and "make you so MAD!" -- it certainly has left plenty of victims racking their brains and scratching their heads in decades past. If you don't already know the answer to this one, let us help you preserve your sanity and whatever gray matter you may have left by telling you . . . there is no answer. Other than 'hungry' and 'angry,' there is no English word ending with the letters 'gry' which the average native speaker of English would recognize, much less "use every day" (and certainly none which a teller of this riddle could claim to have "already given you"). \n\nAll other words ending in 'gry' which one might find in even the most comprehensive English dictionary are either archaic terms or obsolete variant spellings, such as: \n\n\naggry: variegated glass beads of ancient manufacture, mentioned by various 19th-century writers as having been found buried in parts of Africa. \n\nbegry: an obsolete 15th-century spelling of the word 'beggary' (i.e., extreme poverty). \n\nconyngry: an obsolete 17th-century spelling of the even more obsolete word 'conynger' (like 'cunningaire' and 'conygarth,' a term meaning 'rabbit warren'). \n\ngry: a unit of measurement proposed by English philosopher John Locke in his 1690 "Essay Concerning Human Understanding." \n\nhigry-pigry: a corruption (along with 'hickery-pickery' and 'hicra picra') of the Greek 'hiera picra' (approximately 'sacred bitters'), a term for many medicines in the Greek pharmacopoeia, particularly a purgative drug composed of aloes and canella bark. \n\niggry: an early 20th century British army slang borrowing from the Arabic 'ijri, meaning 'Hurry up!" \n\nmeagry: a rare and obsolete early 17th-century variant meaning 'meager-looking.' \n\nmenagry: obsolete 18th-century alternate spelling of 'menagerie.' \n\nnangry: a rare and obsolete 17th-century variant of 'angry.' \n\npodagry: a 17th-century variant spelling of 'podagra,' a medical lexicon term for 'gout.' \n\npuggry: a 19th-century alternate spelling of 'puggaree' or 'puggree,' derived from the Hindi 'pagri,' a word for a light turban or head covering worn in India. \n\nskugry: a 16th-century variant spelling of 'scuggery,' meaning 'concealment' or 'secrecy.' \nSo, what's the point to this puzzler if it has no answer? Some people maintain that is the point: the question was deliberately conceived as an irritating brain-teaser with no correct answer. The roundabout phrasing of the question suggests otherwise, however -- more likely it was designed as a trick question rather than a trivia question, perhaps one whose wording has been corrupted over time or whose gimmick was only apparent when the question was delivered orally. \n\nThe most common guess is that this riddle is indeed a trick question, but the point of the trick has been lost through the rearrangement of the riddle's wording as it has been passed along through the years. Consider an alternate version of this puzzler: \n\nThink 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. \nThis version supports the theory that the first two sentences are red herrings; the catch is that the teller is literally asking you to identify the third word of the phrase "the English language" -- there are only three words in the phrase "the English language," the third word ("language") describes something that one uses every day, and "language" is indeed a word which the teller has "already told you."

That's funny!  Thanks for the laugh. I'm trying really hard to think of something myself. Ah man, my mind just went blank!  I hate that.  I'll find something funny and share!  Thanks.

^ That isn't the only link one could find to this riddle.\n\nWhy has it been posted like 25 times in the last week?\n\nOk I previously stated that I felt the best answer was "pressure" but I am retracting that.\n\nIf you look at the riddle, the only part that actually states a question is the last line which reads "Can you guess the riddle?"  I would bet that Kindergarten students would just be like "ha... no!" while Harvard students would be driven nuts.\n\n And well, NO is the correct answer.  \n\nSo what is the rest of the riddle there for?  Well probably because its a riddle and that is the superfluous information.
