A Riddle That Will Kill Your Brain

I received this in my email today. Some of you may have heard it before. If so, don't give it up too soon. It was driving me nuts for about an hour before I gave up and googled it. Anyway, here it is:

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 not to google it like I did.

Three words in "The English Language".

"Language" Is the third word.

I'll bet it's simple too... I give up.

Merriam Webster found:

Angry
Anhungry
Hungry
Man Angry
Young Angry


If you had said rny, I'd have one- because I'm that every day, and have been since I was 13 - 14.
