As our old-timers are aware, this "riddle" causes several of the mods to go wild and start throwing things around!
Partsdude (and, please understand, PD, that you are not, in any way in trouble for asking the question!) recently brought up an excellent issue - the link at the top of the I Need An Answer Forum with the "answer" to this nagging question disappeared when the new software was installed.

I'm not able to change the subject line in PD's message to note that the link to the solution to the gry is noted within. So, I'm creating a totally new thread. If necessary (and, until Terry gets the link put back up at the top of the forum), we can keep this thread close enough to the top of the list to answer any questions that arise.

See this site:

I think we should start a campaign to get the more obscure words which end in "gry" back into common use, so we can consign this riddle to the trivia dustbin.

Some come on, igrry, put on your puggry, and start saying "mawgry" every day.
