Riddle

hey everybody here's a riddle for u to figure out.

A RIDDLE THAT'LL KILL YOUR BRAIN! This is going to make you so MAD! 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?

(try to figure it out cuz i don't know the answer)

This is a FAQ. You told it slightly wrong. The "canonical" form is based on saying "There are three words in the English language", and of course, the third is "language" - the three words being "the", "English", and "language".

Another source gives this:

Remember, always check the Straight Dope, and snopes, when you encounter an unanswerable riddle. Often, the version of the riddle you've heard is mildly screwed up, and won't work.
