This is a very controversial riddle, because there are, in fact, two answers.

Onegry. If you've read the forum, you've seen it already. Also, every time the word "one" comes up in the statement of the riddle, it's capitalized. So, onegry is answer no. 1.

Then there is also, "there are three words in the English language," what is the third word? Language. It's actually half-riddle and half-really hard question.

the answer is not "gry" nor "enerygy".  the answer is languge.  the riddle was written incorrectly.  it is supposed to say "think of words ending in -gry.  two of the are angry and hungry.  there are three words in the english language..." etc.  the first two sentences are irrelevant.  the key part to the riddle is THERE ARE THREE WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.  "THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE"   the third word is "language" and therefore the answer to the riddle.

I remember reading this riddle a long time ago but it went something like this:

Can you think of three words ending in -gry?
Angry is one of them.
Hungry is another.
What is the third word.

Apparently there are many versions of this riddle but this particular one was a bit different and it only worked if you read it out of a book.  In this case, the answer lies in the punctuation.  The last sentence is a statement, not a question.  The word "what" was the answer to this riddle.  The riddle doesn't say "There are three words that end in -gry", it said "Can you think of three words ending in -gry?".  So, 'hungry', 'angry', and 'what' are just three words.  Although this doesn't work for this version of the riddle.
