English Language Brain Teaser
 
"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."

Anybody?:D ;)

You have to watch out for tricks.
Read the puzzle carefully.
Never let yourselfv get locked into an assumption. (Much easier said than done!)
