http://einstein.et.tudelft.nl/~arlet/puzzles/sol.cgi/languag e/english/spelling/gry - you will find the third word, as well as a list of some 100 other -gry words drawn from the annals of literature.
If you go to http://www.monmouth.com/~tromeo/gry.htm, you will find this puzzle worded differently -- and a totally different answer.
The puzzle has many variations of wording. A claimed original version is;
"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 answer to the above variation would be "language" as pointed out by the statement that there are only three words in ' the(1) English(2) language(3) '.
