Okay the last one was easy...?

Try this one.

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 everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

Update:

If it wasn't your brimming intellect that helped you solve the puzzle then it was the damn quotation marks.. Anyways, well done.

    Language?

    "Angry" and "hungry" are two words that end in "gry". 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?

    Answer: "what".

    Variants of this puzzle have circulated widely on the Internet for some years, usually in a corrupted form such as "Name three common English words ending in 'gry'", which has no third answer.

    Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them.,<-- IGNORE THIS

    focus on "There are only three words in "the English language". What is the third word?"

    the one he's asking is the 3rd word on the sentence "the English language"

    Okay.... i'm a little dumbfounded with this one..........

    OH! I just googled the answer.......but still dumbfounded...

    The first site says the THERE IS NO ANSWER

    The second site says that LANGUAGE is the answer.

    For me the answer is language. My reason? Look at the second site in the sources box.

    Based from that site, there are lots of other words that end in the suffix -gry....but they are not used very often:

    aggry

    Applied to a kind of variegated glass beads of ancient manufacture

    ahungry

    A Shakespearean variant of "hungry"

    angry

    Feeling or showing anger; incensed or enraged

    hungry

    Experiencing a desire or need for food.

    puggry

    A light scarf wound around a hat or helmet to protect the head from the sun [in India]
