A Riddle That'll Kill Your Brain!


This is going to make you so MAD!
There are three words in the English language that
end in "gry".

ONE is angry and the other is hungry. EveryONE
knows what the third ONE means and what it stands
for..
EveryONE uses them everyday, and if you listened very
carefully,
I've given you the third word. What is it?
_________gry?

Send this to 5 people and the answer will pop up on
the screen automatically.

i believe that riddle is slightly flawed...it should read as follows

[ QUOTE ]
Angry and hungry are two words that end in '-gry'. There are three words in the English language. What is the third word? Everyone knows what it means and everyone uses it every day. Look closely and I have already given you the third word. What is it?

actually, after a little more searching, it seems as if there are numerous answers, depending on the phrasing of the question.

either the phrasing of your particular riddle is flawed, or the answer is different from what other phrasings would be.

Re: Help with email riddle/Who\'s on first?

OK now I made it official, I hijacked the thread, I was going to just change the subject line but maybe there are other people who couldn't figure out the email riddle.

I hope my hijacking doesn't result in a crash
