I do NOT have the answer.Is this legit or a prank ??? mrpro Whoops, I forgot to post the riddle: 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?
