Hi,

i have 1 customize invite to give away

first person to post the answer to this riddle gets it!

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.

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" (see below), 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.

Invite, please.

The answer is supposed to be language, but this riddle was thought up by a grammatical moron. The last part is a prepositional phrase. "in the English language" language is the fourth word, not the third. If the grammatical moron had written the sentence: There are three words in "the English language."
