Riddle Solved

What a lame riddle (see yesterday). The answer was a disappointment. Many thanks to wabut, lenier and especially to F00bar who got in first with this to say (highlight first line to reveal answer):

[ The answer is “language”. ] Read the riddle carefully, you’ll get it :)

As for the actual “gry” part, there’s over 100 English words that end in “gry”, 90% of them aren’t used anymore.

You were right tho, it’s a really bad trick question :)

I knew the answer to that riddle, it’s an old one. So I never even read it before replying. However the answer does not work due to the wording of the riddle. It should read….

Think of words ending in “gry”. Angry and Hungry are 2 of them. There are only 3 words in the English language. What is the third? The word is something people use everyday. If you’ve listened carefully, I’ve already told you what it is.

A conflicting answer was given by People’s Champ. This may be justified, I guess, with the statement F00bar made about archaic English words ending in “gry”, but no longer in use, therefore not really valid – we certainly don’t use it everyday:

I’ve heard that the answer to your riddle problem is “gry”.  Apparently, this was some kind of old word that they never use anymore.  It meant something, but I can’t remember, nor give a shit.  But, thats what I heard the answer was.

If that ain’t the answer, then I have been told a lie.

Still confused? lenier explains:

the ‘gry’ crap is bullshit – there are 3 words in ‘the english language’ therefore ‘language’ is the answer.

What a dodgy riddle.
