okee... i got this one once in an email, and i thought it was quite stupid, but let me see if i can explain it. Seeing this as a riddle and not a trivia question, the answer is "language". the whole -gry and the other 2 words, hungry and angry, are just there to mislead you. the riddle says: "there are three words in the english language..." so the third words is language, plus there are more than 3 words ending with -gry in the english language. so like i said, stupid.
