Question

What are the3 words in the English language ending in "gry" one is angry another is hungry I cant get the 3rd.

Answer 1

augry; an omen

Answer 2

This question is from a riddle, which has been distorted. Pause on “GRY” for a moment and consider this riddle:

"Railroad crossing, watch out for the cars. How can you spell it without any R's? "

The answer is "You spell 'it' 'I-T' ."

However, if your first-grader came home from school and said "Dad, how can you spell 'Railroad Crossing' without using the letter 'R' ?", you could not. The original riddle would have been distorted enough to be unanswerable. The original form of the "-gry" riddle is this:

"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?"

The correct answer is: The third word in "The English Language" is "Language". Like the railroad crossing riddle, the first sentence diverts your attention and has nothing to do with the question itself.

However, for some reason the distorted (and unsolvable) form of the riddle - What is the third common word in English that ends in “gry”? -  is far more common than the proper form.

Answer 8

Not again - this one was on last week

Answer 9

There are only two common words. Hungry and angry.

When phrased properly, this is a trick question. It should read:

"Hungry and angry are two words that end in -gry. What is the third word in the English language?"

And the trick answer is "language". Note that the question technically does not actually say that there is a third word ending in -gry, it just implies it.

There is an outdated, less common word "gry", meaning something small or of little value.

But really, it's the trick question that keeps stumping people...especially when it's worded wrong.
