I came across this riddle today:

There are three words in the English language that end in -gry. One is hungry and another is angry. What is the third word? Everyone uses this word every day; everyone knows what it means and what it stands for. If you’ve listened closely, I’ve already told you what the word is.

Think you know? Check out Merriam-Webster’s answer.
