There are several newsgroups on which the penalty for posting this
question is (or should be) instant death.  Just to cut the debate
short...

From one of more than a few FAQs that answer this:

WHAT WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE END IN -GRY?
     There are two common words in the English
     language that end in -gry, "hungry" and "angry."
     Webster's Third New International
     Dictionary also includes the word "anhungry"
     which is an obsolete term for hungry. Anhungry
     still appears in the dictionary because it was used
     in one of Shakespeare's works. Other words
     identified as ending in -gry include "puggry",
     "aggry," "gry," "mawgry" and "meagry."

     "Puggry," one of several spellings of pugaree, is a
     light turban worn in India. "Aggry" is a type of
     variegated glass bead found buried in Ghana and
     in England. "Gry," an obsolete word according to
     the Oxford English Dictionary, means "the grunt
     of a pig, the dirt under the nail; hence the veriest
     trifle." It is also explained as "the smallest unit in
     Locke's proposed decimal system of linear
     measurement, being the tenth of a line, the
     hundredth of an inch, and the thousandth of a
     philosophical foot." "Mawgry," an obsolete term,
     is the state of being regarded with displeasure.
     "Meagry," is an obscure, rare term meaning
     "having meagre appearance."

And some more on this issue form someone silly enough to post the
question:

"Oh, man. If only I had known. That "gry"
riddle spawned the largest amount of e-mail
I've gotten in response to the newsletter in a
LONG time, maybe ever! And in the end, it
doesn't look like there *is* a right answer.
Here's the deal:

The question was, "There are three words in
the English language that end in gry. The first
is hungry. The second is angry. What is the
third?

Clue: Everyone uses this word everyday.
Everyone knows what it is and what it means
and what it stands for. If you've listened
closely I've already told you the word. What
is it???"

Here are just some of the answers that I got:

---------------------------------------------

Gry: a unit of measure, equal to 1/1000 of a
foot.

Gry: a sound a pig makes.

Puggry : The fabric band around the base of
a hat, usually found with a feather tucked into
it.

Anhungry: From the olde english.

Augry: Meaning a fortunetelling, etc.

Energy. (Explanation: The third word must
end in GRY, but not necessary in that order.)

Gravity: Its ends are g,r, and y and we all
stand for it. We use it every day and know
what it is and what it means.

"What" is the word, based on the wording of
the riddle.

There is no answer! "Hungry" and "angry"
are the only two common words in the
English language that end in "gry."

The third word in the riddle is "three."

The answer is "what." (As in, "What is the
third word.") A sort of "Who's on first"
theory.

The third word in the riddle is "English".
Everyone uses it everyday.

The wording of the riddle got changed
around as it passed mouths that the original
answer was supposed to be "hungry," but
that soon did not apply.

"This riddle is an evil hoax, worse than any
Internet chain letter I've seen, as it not only
clogs the net, but also the brains of the
readers. Free yourself from this waste of
brain processing time."

"This is a hoax, actually."

(After lots of explanations) -- "I now believe
that there is no real answer, just a bad
riddle."

"Folks, there isn't really an answer, or there
are LOTS of answers, depending on how
you look at it. All the answers pretty much
fall into two general categories: (1) actual
words that really DO end in 'gry', of which
there are at least 100, but none still in
common use, thus making it difficult to fit the
rest of the riddle and (2) answers that have
little to do with 'gry' but are tricks that come
from how the question is asked."

--------------------------------------------

And a million more answers. You wouldn't
believe some of the letters I got, and the
thought that went into this. It made me feel
sorta guilty, like all that brain-power could've
been used for good, not evil.

There are about a hundred words ending in
"gry," none of which are "commonly used"
words. Sigh. So in the end, it's my humble
opinion that there is *no* answer, and some
meanie started it to clog up newsgroups and
my e-mailbox and to drive people bonkers.
