Etymology of GRY

The word "gry" is a linguistic puzzle and a commonly misunderstood question. It arose from a riddle that circulated in various forms, particularly in the early days of the internet. The riddle goes as follows:

"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".

The riddle presents a challenge because the question seems to imply that there are only three words in the English language ending with "-gry". However, aside from "angry" and "hungry", there is no widely accepted third word that fulfills the riddle's criteria. The riddle became popular in the early 1990s and continues to perplex people to this day.
