Riddle, help!

RIDDLE THAT'LL KILL YOUR BRAIN! This is going to make you so MAD! There are three words in the English language that end in "gry". ONE is angry and the other is hungry. EveryONE knows what the third ONE means and what it stands for. EveryONE uses them everyday, and if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word. What is it? _______gry?

Anyone know the answer?

Double post :(

Ahh this is hard :crazy:

I read Lee's answer, and I still don't get it :undecided

Yeah I had a slight variation emailed so I changed it as it was not the right one as I searched my emails for "gry" hence why I ammended it.

That will teach me for trying to do 5 things at once :(

Energy? (the puzzle doesn't necessarily say what order G-r-y has to be used just that it has to be at the end of the word)

OMG baffled

I give up. What is it? PM me if you don't want to give it away :p

I think it's fairly implied that the order has to be g-r-y, otherwise all sorts of other words come in, synergy, lethargy, etc

Kill or three depending how you read it?

God damn phonetic riddles! ;)

I found two. PM'd both to Nick.

I know it. Permission to kill the thread?
