A riddle

[RainbowzLPN, LPN]

A riddle that'll kill your brain! There are three words in the English language that end in "gry". One is angry & the other is hungry. Everyone knows what the third one means & what it stands for. Everyone uses them everyday, & if you've listened very carefully, I've given you the third word. What is it? ____gry.

Anyone know what it is? It's driving me nuts trying to find out the answer (& I know I'll be kicking myself when I find out what it is! LOL)

gry

"Angry" 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?

Answer: "language".

This puzzle has circulated widely on the Internet for some

years, but usually in an abbreviated form such as "Name three

common English words ending in 'gry'", which has no good third

answer.
