Lemniscate Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Startling. That's the right answer. Next question.There are 3 words in the English language that end in -gry. Angry and Hungry are two of them, what is the third? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Beast 123 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 There is no other common word ending in "-gry". Perhaps the answer to the original version of the puzzle was meagry or aggry (as in "aggry bead"). There are over 100 obsolete words that end in "-gry", and these two were in use until fairly recently. However, since there is no longer a real answer to this, modern versions of the puzzle have turned from being puzzles to being riddles. There are perhaps as many as a dozen versions in circulation - each with a different answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
