Important: Answer to this puzzle
RIDDLE THAT WILL KILL YOUR BRAIN
This is going to make you so MAD! 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 is 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? I actually got this puzzle by email, but I'm dying to know what the answer is and I promised my g/friend I'd find out what it is ------------------ ========================= www.pink-post.com |
Answer: "language".
|
In this case the real question is: "There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word?" That is, there are only three words in the phrase "the English language". The third word is "language", which is indeed something we use every day. The first two words are "the" and "English".

This is an old riddle... and the "language" answer is right, (if phrased and taken that way), but if taken to mean the three words ending in "gry", then it becomes somewhat twisted... "Gry" itself is actually a third word, however it is not used everyday. This riddle is designed to drive you mad... don't expect anyone to post some third common word and have a big lightbulb come on so you can say, "Ahhh damn! I knew that!" cuz it ain't gonna happen.
