OOO tough one. I'm good at this though.


It has something to do with ONE...

ks, I really have no idea. Sorry. But if I come up with anything, I'll let you know. My Mom knows the riddle. I'll see if she remembers the answer.

Yeah, but I've tried anything and everything that has to do with one, and I can't think of it...

This riddle is not phrased right. There should be no blank ____gry at the end of it.

The 3rd word is "language". The real question is "There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word?". The 3rd word in the phrase "the English language" is language!

Oh My Gosh! I cant believe it. Is that really it? Why was the question "reworded" like that?

That has been puzzling me since ks sent it to me!

Ohhhhhhhh!!! That riddle was in my seventh grade planner and I never could figure it out! Thanks!

Ok, I'm a little slow...you want to run that by me again, TJ? Thanks, cause that riddle is really bothering me!

ks

The answer to this riddle hasnt been given yet.... Whats the 3rd word ending in GRY??

Lauguage doesnt end in GRY so it isnt that.... Im stumped!!

:mad::mad: Oooooooo! I'm not good at riddles and get frustrated just like I do when I watch ppl do card tricks I can't figure out!!! Hmmmph!!!!

This riddle is so outdated....


unhungry (adjective) :D
not hungry.


There is also "hangry" (a new word - adjective) :D
Hungry and angry, especially when the anger is induced by the hunger.

I dunno if there IS an answer...... Todd tried to help but the word he posted was invalid....... I dunno...

:confused:

Thank you Todd but that word doesnt end in GRY!!

I told you this is an outdated riddle!!!!

William Safire in What's the Good Word (1982) says the question is a hoax, intended to waste the questionee's time.

He quotes David Guralnik, editor of Simon & Schuster's Webster's New World Dictionary as saying there are no other "native English words" so ending, except angry and hungry.


In 1982 there was no other word, but today ---HANGRY is now the word that can be the answer!!!!!!
Also, the phrase "The English Language" from the "riddle" is what some had decided it meant was the third word in the phrase "The English Language" -- which is "Language."
Do you understand NOW!

Hmmmm I dunno if I do Foggy but I trust you...
