"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."

[Kitty]

I Agree.

Random guess ftw.

[Bakemaster]

Language.

And I spent 15 minutes getting the LAST riddle only to preview my answer and see six frigging replies since I started.

I used to play a great game called Sherlock that was exactly that type of problem solving.

[Kitty]

edit - Bake is win.

[MastaChiefX]

only

i think bake is rite tho

[CrimsonKnight]

Language.

+1

My logic: There are only three words in "the English language." "Language" is the 3rd word? Is the -gry supposed to throw you off?

*Note* I got the last riddle!!!

Key for those who don't get it or gave up on the last riddle.

[Shimohime]

Omg, I got it the first time I read the riddle, but I rarely check riddle thread, so I always miss it O.o

But yeah, Bake is right on this one ^^

[Bakemaster]

This is the game I was talking about that's like that last riddle, by the way.

In marble walls as white as milk, 
Lined with a skin as soft as silk,

Four jolly men sat down to play; 
And played all night till break of day; 
They played for money and not for fun, 
With separate scores for every one. 
Yet when they came to square accounts, 
They all had made quite fair amounts! 
Can you the paradox explain? 
If no one lost, how could all gain?

[Draquish]

Riddle # 83

A wealthy man named Richard Ellis had been counting his money.When he finished, he accidentally left a $100.00 bill on his desk. But when he returned for it a short while later, it was gone. Only two other persons could have seen the bill. One was the maid; the other was the butler.

The maid told him that she had hidden it for safekeeping under a green book that was on the desk. But when they looked the bill was not there.

The butler said he had found the bill where the maid had left it. He had placed it inside the book, where he thought there was less chance that somebody would find it. He had written down the page numbers so that he would not forget them. The bill was between pages 35 and 36, he said. But when they looked, there was no money in the book.

After Mr. Ellis had talked to the maid and the butler, he called the police. He was sure he knew who had taken the money. Who was it, and how did he know? 

[Kitty]

35+36 are on the same piece of paper.
