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.

WHAT IS IT?

it is Hungry silly! I have heard this ridiculous riddle over and over again, I can't begin to fathom why people still try to trick others with it. Reading the second sentence you can see that the 'third' word is hungry. The confusion within the riddle is in the third word in the second sentence of the riddle, exactly as quoted, NOT some mythical third commonly used English word ending in "-gry". Hmph! Stupid riddle really but well, enough to silently drive one nuts! First word GRY (and it does have a meaning), second word ANGRY and third word HUNGRY. Get it? it's a good one but then again you might come up with another answer for the same riddle put in its original form. Here goes:

"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."

In its proper, original form, the first two sentences have absolutely nothing to do with the question: "Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them." Ignore those two sentences. They are there only to throw you off course. (And it worked, didn't it?) What's left is the actual riddle itself: "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."
The key is the phrase "the English language." In this three-word phrase, the third word is simply the word "language." Get it? "Language" is definitely something that "everyone uses every day"! Et voila, and you thought you were stupid

ehe- ehe.
You got itt.
