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?
_______gry?

i know what the word is now but it makes no sense at all to the riddle

just found this

The secret here is that the real question is "There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word?" That is, there are only three words in the phrase "the English language". The third word is "language", which is indeed something we use every day. The first two words are "the" and "English".

however you lot still need to find the 3rd word and please dont cheat by copy and pasting anything ive posted

thats pissed me right off, the riddle was written wrong in the email!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 everybody uses everyday. If you have listened carefully , I've already told you what it is

so whoever said language before is right

There are different versions of this. If you said it like;

"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 everybody uses everyday. If you have listened carefully , I've already told you what it is."

the answer would be 'language'.
The bits in Bold are wrong cos there are more than three words.

Yeah the answer would be Language as the gry be isn't a question it's a statement so the answer to the question is language.
