Can anyone solve this riddle?

Question

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? Send this to 5 People and the answer will pop up on the screen automatically.

Answer 1

The answer is "what".....

Now, I spent a good time on this, fiddling around with every possible trick, every possible misdirection, every possible word play, and in the end, the answer i came up with just seems obvious. This is a version of the riddle you don't have on the website, so maybe the answer's going to be incorrect, but I think there just is no right or wrong answer; it's all in how the riddle is said and interpreted. Look at it this way... Let's take it sentence by sentence first. The first sentence can either be overlooked or the capitalized "MAD" can be taken as a hint. In the end, however, the "MAD" is not a hint, so let's just ignore the first sentence entirely. The second sentence clearly states that it is the sound or spelling of "gry" at the end of a word we are looking for, not some "G or Y" possibility. The third sentence tells us that two of the three words are "angry" and "hungry," so we are led to believe that the third word will be "something-gry." So we dig in our brains to find this word. USELESS! Look at the entire riddle, and notice that every instance of the word "one" is capitalized. Unlike the "mad" being capitalized for emphasis, the "one" phonetically and emphatically makes no sense, so it must be assumed that the capitalization is a clue! So I thought, maybe the word is "onegry," or "fouronegry" or something, but none of those work. (I also thought that maybe the SOUND of "gry" in the third word was not like the "gry" in "angry" or "hungry," but more like a "gree," so that "onegry" would sound like "on-e-gree," but this path didn't lead anywhere and was incorrect anyways, so let's get back to the real solution.) The "ONE" is definately a clue. The "everyONE uses them every day" clearly opposes the interpretation that "language" is the correct answer, as the quote refers to the three words, the third one being the answer we are looking for. Now, there is a word "gry" which means ***a measure equal to one tenth of a line, or anything very small, or of little value***. I do believe "ONE" is a good clue to this definition! "1" is very small or of little value! Then, the riddle  direction of putting something in the blank spot... but can't the blank spot be blank intentionally!? I think so! So, my answer (also deduced by my friend) is that the third word is simply "gry"! The only part of the riddle that does not make much sense is the part saying that the word is used everyday and everyone knows what it means. I'm sure it's not a common word today, but maybe when the riddle was originated it was. So, voila another possible solution!

Answer 8

Language!!!

Answer 9

It depends on how one takes it and how you mean it. Energy ends with the letters g r y, but not in the order you gave them. Agree would fit if you are using "gry" phonetically. "Solve" is the third word you used, but the third word after the required question heading is "going." If you leave out the first sentence, then the word is "three." By a stretch, I could argue the answer could be "I am angry" or "I am hungry." Both statements are three words and both end in "gry." While there are several archaic words I could cite, puggry for example, I do not think you are going in that direction. I suspect, however you are referring to the word "ONE." What it stands for is the number, or if you prefer, the numeral 1.

As an aside, I enjoy using archaic words. My user name, rendered into modern English, would read, "Do not be misled." I will sometimes close an answer or an email message with the following.

B Knott Wildered, I know what I am talking about (most of the time anyway).
