Can you figure this out???

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.

There's different answers depending on the wording.
For this one, "three" can work as an answer.

Also possible, "what", but the question mark sort of goes against that.

"onegry"

Afraid I've heard this one before.

So you are saying you have the ultimate say in what are, and what are not words in the English language? In this situation I would say either answer is acceptable.

And actually, after a quick search in Merriam Webster Unabridged there are 6 entries that end with 'gry'.

aggry
angry
anhungry
hungry
man hungry
young hungry

Even with the last two out, that is four words, although admitantly, 'onegry' is not one of them.
