"aggry," meaning a type of prehistoric bead.\nBUT\nYou asked the riddle wrong dummy:\nAngry and hungry are two words that end in '-gry'. There are three words in the English language. What is the third word? Everyone knows what it means and everyone uses it every day. Look closely and I have already given you the third word. What is it? \n\nthe answer to that, is "language."

A# 1\n"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."\n\nIn its original form, the first two sentences have absolutely "nothing" to do with the question: "Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them." Ignore those two sentences. They are there only to throw you off. (Worked, didn't it?)\n\nWhat's left is the actual riddle itself: "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\nThe key is the phrase "the English language." In this three-word phrase, the third word is simply the word "language." "Language" is definitely something that "everyone uses every day"! Without that quirky little twist, the puzzle would just be another trivia question, and not a riddle.\n\n\n\nA# 2 (Let me add question here as well as the answer is from the question)\nThe GRY riddle\n\nAngry and Hungry are two words ending in 'gry"\nThere are three words, (Using popular terminology) \nin the English Language , that end in "GRY". \n.\nWhat is the third word? \nThe word is something that everyone uses every day. \nIf you have listened carefully, \nI have already told you what it is. \n\n>> Answer is terminology.

The answer is sometimes given as "language," because "language" is the third word in the phrase "the English language." Two of the sentences thus have absolutely nothing to do with the question: "Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them." They are there only to throw you off course. What's left is the actual riddle itself: "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 first two sentences are just a red herring. But many people hear or read the question and assume it is referring to the first sentence. \n\nalso angry, hungry, aggry and puggry are in the dictionary but are not common words.

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.\nThe answer is language.\nIt 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. \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?\nThe answer is energy.\nThe question asks for a word ending with the three letters g-r-y, but does not stipulate that they must be in that order. \n\nThis is the (presumed) original version of the puzzle from 1975. The possible answers (if obsolete words, names, and hyphenated compounds of "angry" and "hungry" are allowed) are plentiful. Most of the 124 listed below were in the 1933 edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, and all have appeared in some major dictionary of English:\n\n\naffect-hungry fire-angry MacLoingry Seagry \naggry Gagry mad-angry self-angry \nAgry girl-hungry mad-hungry selfe-angry \nahungry gonagry magry sensation-hungry \nair-hungry gry malgry sex-angry \nanhungry haegry man-hungry sex-hungry \nBadagry half-angry managry Shchigry \nBallingry hangry mannagry shiggry \nbegry heart-angry Margry Shtchigry \nbewgry heart-hungry maugry sight-hungry \nboroughmongry higry pigry mawgry skugry \nbowgry hogry meagry Sygry \nbraggry hogrymogry meat-hungry Tangry \nBugry hongry menagry Tchangry \nChockpugry hound-hungry messagry Tchigry \nCogry houngry music-hungry tear-angry \ncony-gry huggrymuggry nangry th'angry \nconyngry hund-hungry overangry tike-hungry \ncottagry Hungry Bungry Pelegry Tingry \nCroftangry hwngry Pingry toggry \ndiamond-hungry iggry Podagry ulgry \ndog-hungry Jagry Pongry unangry \ndogge-hungry job-hungry pottingry vergry \nDshagry kaingry power-hungry Vigry \nDzagry land-hungry profit-hungry vngry \neard-hungry Langry puggry war-hungry \nEchanuggry leather-hungry pugry Wigry \nEgry ledderhungry red-angry wind-hungry \neuer-angry life-hungry rungry yeard-hungry \never-angry Lisnagry scavengry yird-hungry \nfenegry losengry Schtschigry Ymagry

Actually, many words end in -gry, including gry itself, although all but angry and hungry are rare, foreign, obscure or obsolete.The most common "answers" are 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 (unabridged)Dictionary of the English Language. \n"But that can't be the answer," you groan. No. It's not. There is no answer. \nThe puzzle is WRONG. "It's a fraud, it's a fake," says Will Shortz, who is the puzzle editor of the New York Times and the host of a puzzle segment on National Public Radio's Weekend Edition (NPR, 11/10/96). The actual truth is that \nNO other common English word ends in -gry! It's a trick question -- and the trick, at least in some versions, has been lost. Word-puzzle fans and reference librarians have been trying for years to track the question's history to find the original answer. But to do that we need to know what the original question was. And there are several different versions in circulation purporting to be the original. \n\n\n\nA very early version, found in an old book by a member of the Stumpers list, goes like this: \n\n"There are three words in the English language that end with 'gry'. Two of these are angry and hungry. The third word is a very common word, and you use it often. If you have read what I have told you, you will see that I have given you the third word. What is the third word? Think very carefully." \nThe next page of the book gave this answer: \n\n"Three, the question has nothing to do with angry, hungry, or any of the many other obscure words that end in 'gry', it is a simple question asking you what the third word in the sentence is. As you take tests, remember this."\n\nThe full text of the e-mail containing this version is quoted at the bottom of this page. \nAs asked on the Bob Grant radio show (New York City) in 1975, which many experts believe to be the earliest documented version, it went: \n\n"There are only 3 words in the English language, all adjectives, which end in -gry. Two are angry and hungry; the third word describes the state of the world today. What is it?"\n(Several sources say this was "taken from an old book", which leaves open the question of whether it was from the same book referred to in the e-mail above, or whether there were already multiple forms of the puzzle going around.) \nAccording to Ross Eckler of Word Ways magazine, while there are "nearly one hundred" words ending in -gry, none of them are common. But only one of them (besides angry and hungry) is an adjective, and that is meagry, a word found in the Oxford English Dictionary which means "meager." So meagry would seem to answer the question, at least in this form. \n\nYet another version that many believe is the original, "right" form of the question, goes thus: \n\n"Two words that end in -gry are 'angry' and 'hungry'. There are three \nwords in the English language. What is the third word? It's a common word \nthat everyone knows."\nIn this case, the answer is the third word in the phrase "the English language", i.e. "language"! The part about "angry and hungry" turns out to be a red herring. (from COPYEDITING-L list and the rec.puzzles Usenet newsgroup's FAQ) People who don't know the trick to this puzzle, by changing the wording when they pass the question along, have mangled the question until there is no real answer! Most people now seem to accept this as the "real" answer. \nA similar suggestion (from Charles Wiedemann of Hackettstown, NJ, p

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?

Words that End in Gry\nWithout a doubt the most common question we receive from visitors to Fun-with-words.com is about the famous "-gry" puzzle, so we've decided to put the story of this curious puzzle on the site. Here it is.\n\nThe puzzle is essentially this: There are three English words ending in "-gry". Two are "angry" and "hungry". What is the third one?\n\nThere is no other common word ending in "-gry", so how did the puzzle come about? It first appeared in print in 1975.\n\nPerhaps 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" (see below), 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!\nThis info from fun with words really covers it!\n\nWords Ending in Gry\nWe shall look at each of eight versions of the "-gry" puzzle, and their answers. (Some of these are discussed by Chris Cole in "Wordplay: A Curious Dictionary of Language Oddities".) 1. 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.\n\nThe answer is language.\nIt 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.\n2. "Angry" and "hungry" are two words in the English language that end in "-gry". "What" is the third word. The word is something that everyone uses everyday. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.\n\nThe answer is what.\nThe question states that "what" is the third word, then it asks for the third word. Again this version needs to be spoken to be effective.\n3. There are three words in English that end in "gree." The first two are "angry" and "hungry," and if you've listened closely you'll agree that I've told you the third one.\n\nThe answer is agree.\nIt 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.\n4. There 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.\nThe question asks for a word ending with the three letters g-r-y, but does not stipulate that they must be in that order.\n5. There are at least three words in the English language that end in g or y. One of them is "hungry," and another one is "angry." There is a third word, a short one, which you probably say every day. If you are listening carefully to everything I say, you just heard me say it three times. What is it?\n\nThe answer is say.\nThe question must be said in such a way that the word "or" sounds like the letter "r". Once more, to be effective it is crucial that this version is spoken rather than printed. This version is first known to have appeared in 1997.\n6. 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 tha
