Three words in the English language that end in gry. Angry is one and hungry is another. What is the third word?

  • First of all, the riddle was incorrectly paraphrased. The original riddle goes like this: "There are two words in the English language that end in GRY. Angry is one word and hungry is another. What is the third word? It is a word that everyone uses everyday, and if you had listened closely, I already gave it away." The answer to this riddle is "what". The first sentence is designed to throw you off the scent. The first sentence just mentions that there are two words that end in GRY. It did not say there ARE ONLY TWO WORDS in the dictionary that end in GRY.
