I hope I have this right:
There are 3 words in the dictionary that end with gry. One is hungry, another is angry. What is the 3rd word? (I know it's pretty corny)

Actually, there are only two words that end with "gry."
The riddle is:
There are only three words in the English Language that end with "gry."
One is hungry, the other is angry.
What is the third word in the English language that ends with "gry."
Of course, the answer is "language."

Actually I think it's more clear if you say it like this:
Hungry and Angry are two words that in "-gry".
There are only three words in The English Language, what's the third word?
This way, it's easier to explain afterwards, and you can just tell them the first sentence was just to confuse them. This is how it's written on Dictionary.com

Accually when I heard it the answer was "What".
"What is the 3rd word"

The sad thing is that there are actually more than two words in the English language ending in -GRY (aggry, for example). Poor, poor riddle...
