There are three words in the English language that end in -GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for. If you listened carefully, I already told you what the word is. What is the third word?
as there are only 2 words in the oxford dictionary that end in -gry, I think your braille reply is a clue?
It wasn’t a clue, mate. But a clue would be to say that certain phrases in the riddle are a misdirection.
“There are three words in the English language that end with “gry.” One is hungry and the other is angry. What is the third word? Everyone uses this word every day, everyone knows what it means, and knows what it stands for. If you have listened very closely I have already told you the third word.”
If you read the second sentence you see that the “third” word is “hungry.” By the time the puzzler made it to the internet, passed on by people who received the original wording as above but failed to solve it, the precision of the wording changed so it would be impossible to solve.
