  • Riddle.. Heard this one before?

    "There are three words in the English language that end in GRY. Two are HUNGRY and ANGRY. The third one everyone uses every day and knows what it stands for. If you listened carefully, I already told you what the word is."
    One thing you gotta ask yourself... where are you now? -- James Blunt lyrics

            That's the third word in the sentance. So it's the third word.

                yeah except you told it wrong. The way you put it out is not the way it's supposed to be told (because it makes no sense)

                HERE is the proper form:

                "Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

                  "So, basically, this puzzle has no good answer. Yet it has become the most frequently asked word puzzle. It is so common that it is a standing joke [1] on the Stumpers reference librarian list server [2] that it's time to change your car's oil when it is asked anew. "


                  EDIT : Pekka's version and the many similar ones where actually spinoff from the original puzzle being so popular...

                      That's because it's a dumb riddle with multiple possible answers. Also, I note that you haven't even phrased a question in your riddle, and the lack of quotation marks means that all possible answers are technically grammatically ruled out.

                        Anybody who hasn't heard some version of this before must be living in a cave, by the way.

                          Its simply a riddle. Do they all have to be funny? or interesting? Its to tease your brain. Did you respond because you cant figure it out?

                            We all know this. You just gave the wrong version of it.

                            The answer is: language.

                              Well.. it seems I have failed to interest anyone and have been soundedly chastised for even attempting to start a thread.

                              Thanks for your time and comments
