Yes there is.  The word is Energy.

Energy ends in g-r-y?  :o

Seems to me someone is suffering from selective dyslexia.  :-\

Check This Out.

There are three words in the English language that end in the letters "GRY".  One is hungry and the other is angry.  What is the third word?

It never said which order they had to be in.  They say reading is fundamental.

Because reading is fundamental, the order is implied.  ;) 8)

That makes the riddle untrue, there are more than three words that end in the letters gry, actually I believe I read up on this riddle on snopes and there are actually more than three words that end in gry.  Gry itself is a word:

From Webster's revised unabridged Dictionary:
Gry

Gry\, n. [Gr ? syllable, bit.]

1. A measure equal to one tenth of a line. [Obs.] --Locke.

2. Anything very small, or of little value. [R.]

When people reworded/shortened the riddle, they messed it up.

There isn't one.  However, that is a part of a longer riddle, which goes as follows:

"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 answer to this is language

I don't get it. Why is the answer language?  I have another one but I bet SJ already knows it.


A man and wife are in their car. The car breaks down and the man gets out to go get help. Before he leaves he makes sure she is alone in the car and locks the doors and trunk. When he returns his wife is dead. The doors and trunk are still locked and no one has broken in  yet there is a stranger in the car. How did  his wife die?

The stranger came through the sun/moon roof.


The key to the -gry riddle is in the sentence: There are three words in the English language.  8)

A plane crashed and every single person on board this flight was killed, yet...there were survivors. Explain how.

The survivors escaped from the plane before the crash.
