Mấy nhà thông-thái,

Cái câu đố nầy, tui nói trước là tui củng không biết, và đang suy nghỉ, thành đem lên đây để mọi người suy ngẩm chơi.

"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."

There is no such third word that ends in-- gry.

This is a trick question that still makes all the lexicon writers puzzled.
There are only two gry ending words in English, as mentioned in your riddle. The gry itself is not a word, therefore can not be counted as the 3rd word.

This riddle started off incorrectly intentionally to throw people off, leading them to believe that there are 3 -gry ending words.

Let's rephrase the question:

There are only three words in "THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE". What is the third word?

Answer: LANGUAGE

It fits the bill !

There are 2 more english words ended with gry: "aggry" and "gry" but they are both obsolete so they don't count.
