I often receive emails asking me to solve a puzzle. The person
has been asked a question about the third word which ends in
-gry.
They have been led to believe that there are three
common words in the English language which end in -gry and have
been asked to think of the third one.
Three things you need to
know about this puzzle are:
- There are only two common words ending in -gry. They are angry and
hungry. There are several other words which end like this such as
aggry, meagry, puggry and some others. But none of these could be
described as common words.
- This is a riddle rather than a genuine question - so you
need to be on guard for some trickery in the wording of the question.
- Sometimes this riddle is misquoted. If you don't have the correct
wording it becomes impossible to solve. This how it should be worded:
- 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.
Now that you
know that it is a riddle and you have the correct wording, why not spend
some time trying to solve it?
