Super hard problem... is ANYONE good enough to solve it?????
Ok, here we go.
There are three words in the English language that end in "gry" and all three are common, everyday words. One is Hungry, the second is Angry.... but what is the third??
I may even be tempted to give some kind of prize to anyone that can work it out. Its a real toughy!! Hope it won't anger too many of you like it did around our office!!! 
Good luck!!

I'm thinking its a riddle..
the key is 'the english language' the hint is, it's something we use every day.
Language is the third word in the statement 'the english language'
i'm probably wrong  I suck at riddles

You are correct. Which would make the answer "language."

Are you inventing a new puzzle? Because it's been around a long time with the answer "language."

I'm guessing that jstonehouse is interpreting it as the third word in the first sentence of the puzzle three.

Could also be a tricky bit with the statement of "but what is the third?? " which would make What the answer..

Which would make the answer, "No."
Because "what" is not the third.
I suppose it's open to interpretation.
In which case; there is no definative correct answer.

ok Jstonehouse, what is the answer? It seems obvious this is one of those things that has been around forever and a day, and apparently your version is different than all the ones scattered on the net.. so I give, what is your answer?

Since you phrased it incorrectly there is no answer. If you had phrased it correctly the answer is language. This is an example of a brainteaser that when phrased incorrecly leaves no answer.
