THE ANSWER IS "THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE"
OK, now let's take this riddle apart and solve it as a riddle. Remember, that a riddle has a trick with the words or usage of the words. The trick in this puzzle is misdirection. There are words here that are meant to mislead you and they do just that. The first two sentences in the puzzle have nothing to do with the question being asked: "Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them." Ignore these two sentences. They are there to mislead and distract you. Works doesn't it??? Now, what is left is the "meat" of the riddle: "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." In the phrase, the English language, the third word is simply the word 'language'. There you have it!! Get it? 'Language' is definitely something everyone uses every day and in the phrase "the English language" is the third word! OK, now you're saying,"That can't be it; too easy!!" But remember what a riddle is and that the "GRY" riddle is a riddle - NOT a trivia question. "Ok", you're saying, "But that is really stupid!" Hey, we didn't write this riddle - but we do believe that we have the solution, stupid or not! We don't have actual statistics, but we can say that the "GRY" riddle has really gotten around over the last twenty years or so and we get MANY requests for the solution. As is the case with riddles, you need to listen or read them carefully before solving and before passing them along. Somehow, the "GRY" riddle got really distorted - hopefully this explanation will help and satisfy all of you who have been racking your brains for the answer!
I don't think there really is one.

There is no other words that end in GRY, or at least words that you would use in everyday life.
There's no such word other than hungry and angry. But the riddle might not mean exactly to end in G R Y. it could also mean the pronunciation. So my answer would be "Agree"
Its a trick riddle, if written correctly it refers to the word "language" or "say" in the riddle.
language it is

By the way, there really are words in the English language that end in -GRY. However, they are definitely obscure and to most of us unknown and rarely used. When have you used bowgry, hogry, hangry or aggry in everyday circumstances? (Remember the riddle clearly states that the answer is something used every day by everyone.) So forget about using any of those obscure words! Instead, start repeating the riddle in its correct version and be happy that you now know the solution!
agree. speak it aloud and u will get it
I agree with Cody. Go to the site he listed.
I think this has already been asked. It's a scam riddle.

This is a very famous puzzle and it goes like this :
There are three words in the English language that end in "gry." Two words that end in "gry" are "hungry" and "angry." Everyone knows what the third word means, and everyone uses them every day. If you listened very carefully, I have already stated to you what the third word is. The three words that solve this riddle are...?[6]
The answer is the three-word sentence "I am hungry." This version asks for three words that end in "gry," not three words each of which end in "gry
im going to say aggry
but i had to do research!!!!!

The -Gry Puzzle is a popular puzzle that asks for the third English word, other than "angry" and "hungry," that ends with the letters "gry." Aside from words derived from "angry" and "hungry," there is no stand-alone word ending in "gry" that is in current usage. Both Webster's Third New International Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged (Merriam-Webster, Inc., 2002, ISBN 0-87779-201-1) and the Oxford English Dictionary, Second Edition (Oxford University Press, 1989, ISBN 0-19-861186-2) contain the compound word "aggry bead." To find a third word ending in -gry that is not part of a phrase, you must turn to archaic, obsolete, or uncommon words, or personal or place names.
This puzzle has no good answer, yet it has become the most frequently asked word puzzle
From wikipedia
Skilledr is a genius. He or She has already given the answer. Choose it as best answer. I too stand enlightened.
But, I have another answer for you. That is as follows.
Among the sweetmeats of India, there is one really delicious item. It is called Jangry. I do not know whether it entered the Oxford Dictionary. If it hasn't yet, it will soon enter. You can take it as the third word which ends with gry, i.e., Jangry.
no true answer to this yet several trick ones
GRY
They got you too
The answer to the riddle is "language"
