    		Q. Besides angry and hungry, is there another common English word that ends in -gry?
    A. No.

    There are a few English words that end in -gry, including but not limited to the following words in our dictionary:
    Angry, hungry, aggry, puggry

    The reason the question comes up so frequently is because of a riddle. One version of the riddle goes, "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."

    There are several answers and explanations on this. See:

    Yahoo even has a category devoted to it, if you still haven't had enough of this most maddening riddle.
