Alrighty, gang...this is my first thread that I have posted!

Okay....my 15 year old cuz sent this to me...her wiser (blonde...winks) cuz for me to figure out! Helppppppppppppppppppp *g*

There are three words in the English language that end in "gry".
ONE is angry and the other is hungry. EveryONE knows what the third ONE
means
and what it stands for. EveryONE uses them everyday, and if you listened
very
carefully, I've given you the third word. What is it? __________gry? What a topic, I know!

Mwahhhhhhh! Thanks a million!
 
look at the riddle this way...

When it was originally done years back. Read carefully.

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."

The answer is language, it is the third word in "The English Language"

(I did cut and paste these from a puzzle solution web site, I did not know them all)
As for gry words there are several more:

aggry: A glass bead found buried in the ground in Africa. A word of unknown origin. Seemingly always used attributively, as in aggry beads.

braggry: A variant form of braggery.

conyngry: An obsolete dialectal variant of conyger, itself an obsolete term meaning 'rabbit warren'.

gry: The smallest unit in Locke's proposed decimal system of linear measurement, being the tenth of a line, the hundredth of an inch, and the thousandth of a ('philosophical') foot. Also the grunt of a pig, an insignificant trifle, or a verb meaning to roar.

iggry: Egyptian colloquial Arabic pronunciation of ijri: 'Hurry up!', brought back after the First World War by members of British and Australian forces who had fought in Egypt.

mawgry: from Old French: being regarded with displeasure.

meagry: Having a meager appearance.

nangry: A variant form of angry.

podagry: Dodder, or the condition of a plant infested with it.

puggry: A variant form of puggree, a light scarf wound around a hat or helmet to protect the head from the sun.
