Answer

There are only two COMMON words in the English language that end with "gry". They are "angry" and "hungry". There is not a third common word.

Answer

1. aggry*
2. angry
3. hungry

These seem to be only words in the English dictionary that end with -gry *aggry is a Ghanaian word, as in aggry beads, a type of variegated glass bead used for necklaces. Listed in Websters (1913, 1996, 1998), Chambers English Dictionary, and OSW (Official Scrabble Words).

But we may also wish to consider:

'nugry'(!), a recently coined word, i.e. newbie + gry. Apparently hacker slang, although there is doubt that this 'word' is actually in usage.

It does not appear to be listed in any standard English dictionary, therefore 'nugry' does not seem to have officially entered the English language yet. There are many riddles and 'joke-questions' about words ending with the letters -g-r-y.

NOTE: Some links show many other words that also end in -gry, most of which you will not find in any standard English dictionary!

Answer

This riddle has been around for over 100 years! The reason why it continues to trick people, is because it is usually told or written wrong, thereby creating a puzzle with no answer.

The correct form of this riddle is:

"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 everyday. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

Look familiar? The first two sentences have absolutely nothing to do with the riddle. They are there just to trick you.

So 'what is the third word?'

The third word is actually "language" if you answer this question correctly.

"There are only three words in the English language." Get it? Three words? THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. Last word language?

Language is definitely something we use everyday. So there's your answer!

Answer

There are only two stand-alone words in the English language that end in -gry: angry and hungry. To unlock riddles, focus on the words used. Read Carefully!

Answer

The answer is language. there are three words in THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. language is the third word out of those three words. they just try to trick you with the GRY stuff. If "the English Language" is the phrase from which you are expected to pick the third word, then it is not true that one of them is "angry", nor that another one is "hungry". Moreover, NONE of the words in "the English language" end with "gry". Therefore, "the English language" cannot be the set of words in question, and "language" is clearly not the third word.

The answer to this "question" lies in knowing the exact wording of the ORIGINAL question. That wording has been corrupted into many different forms, all of which are unanswerable because there simply are NOT three common English words that end with "gry". The original form of the question was something like:

"Angry" and "hungry" are two common English words that end with "gry". What is the third word? Note that, in this version, it is never actually stated that there ARE three common English words that end with "gry", merely that "angry" and "hungry" are two of them.

Also note that, if you consider the second sentence as separate and distinct from the first, then there is no restriction that "the third word" must be the third word that ends with "gry". Of course, that is the natural assumption. When you see these two sentences together, it is natural to assume that they are in some way related. But that was not the intention of the trickster who asked this question. So consider the two sentences as separate and distinct. The question, then, independent of how many words there are in the English language that end with "gry", is "What is the third word?". Okay.

Answer

The third word OF WHAT? The Holy Bible? Webster's dictionary? The Constitution? We have no way of knowing. But, with no clear reference to what set of words is meant, the only set of words we have to work with are the words in the sentence itself. Therefore, the question becomes, "What is the third word in this sentence?", and the answer, of course, is "the".

The original question was clearly a trick question, but at least it had an answer. However, the question literally begged to be corrupted into an unanswerable form. Anyone confronted with this question, and failing to answer it, would be likely to ask someone else for help. But they would also likely fail to remember the exact wording of the question, and would instead remember only the general idea that was planted, by their own assumption, into their minds, and would repeat the question as if there were, in fact, three common English words that end with "gry". With the incorporation of this assumption, perhaps in the very first re-asking of the question, the question immediately became unanswerable, rather than merely a trick question. Unfortunately, very few people are aware that the now-corrupted question is quite unanswerable, and therefore this question continues to make the rounds over three decades after it was first corrupted.

Answer

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?

One Answer

The answer is energy.

The question asks for a word ending with the three letters g-r-y, but does not stipulate that they must be in that order.

The three words that end in GRY are hungry, angry and energy.

(This is one answer, but does everyone use the word energy every day? Other words that have G, R, and Y at the end are orgy and synergy.)
Angry, hungry
The words ending with GRY are:

• the first word is angry
• the second word is hungry
• the third word doesn't exist.

Angry.
Angry and hungry
Here's one variation of the riddle:

"Angry" and "hungry" are two words that end in "gry.". What is the third word? Everyone knows what it means and everyone uses it every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

The answer is "what."

aggry, ahungry, angry, hungry, puggry
Hungry, angry
Here's one variation of the riddle:

"Angry" and "hungry" are two words that end in "gry.". What is the third word? Everyone knows what it means and everyone uses it every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

The answer is "what."
Two such words are hungry and angry.
hungry? :)

There's 'angry' too.

A certain riddle states there are three commonly used English words that end with 'gry'. This is actually misleading, hungry and angry are the only two commonly used ones. Some uncommon/obsolete words would be 'meagry' and 'aggry'.
The answer is "language"...3 words in "the English language"...

The third word is 'hungry'.

Note that, in this form of the question, it is never stated that there ARE three common English words that end with "gry", just that "angry" and "hungry" are TWO that do. And in the second sentence, the one that actually asks the question, it does not specifically limit the answer to words that end with "gry" - it just asks what the third word is. The reader of the question ASSUMES that "the third word" refers to the third word that ends with "gry", making the simultaneous assumption that there are, in fact, three such words. The third word in the sentence is hungry.

The two English words that end in -gry are:

1. The

3. Language
   

is "Language."

The answer depends on how you ask the question, and how creative you get.

Here are some variations of the riddle with different correct answers:

___________________________________________

Q: "Thinking of words ending in -gry, 'angry' and 'hungry' are two of them. What is the third word in the English language?

A: Language. (the third word in "the English language" is "language.)

___________________________________________

Q: "Angry" and "hungry" are two words that end in "gry". 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?

___________________________________________

Q: Thinking of words ending in -gry, 'angry' and 'hungry' are two of them. What is the third word?

A: The answer is energy. The question asks for a word ending with the three letters g-r-y, but does not stipulate that they must be in that order!

1. angry
   
2. hungry
   
3. aggry
   
4. meagry
   
5. puggry
