Burn Your Brain
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?

Your version is worded different than the one I received awhile back.
For this version, the answer is "language"
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?

So, why then does this riddle continue to mystify even the hardiest puzzle-solvers? Simple! It's because the riddle itself is almost always stated INCORRECTLY! That's right. The way the riddle is most often told, there IS no answer!
Don't believe me? Let's start by reading the riddle as it is usually told. Here goes:
"There are three words in the English language that end in GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for. If you listened carefully, I already told you what the word is."

After spending most of the night trying to solve this, I find there are a number of versions out there. Depending on how the puzzle is worded, the answer varies.
The first two sentences are "red herrings".
