I figured this out. This riddle asks for the "third" word and specifically
states that "if you listened very carefully" then the word has already been
given to us. They start this riddle off by saying "There are THREE words in
the English language." Well there are no other words that end in "gry" and
if you say the riddle out-loud, then the third word in the riddle itself is
THREE which if you listen closely ends with the sound that rhymes with "gry"
and this word was given to us already. Also, they capitalize the number ONE
which leads me to believe that it is a number that they're looking for.
Plus it says "I have given you the third word" which the riddle wants us to
take literally.

What is the third word?
What is the third word.
 
Are you sure it is asking you What the third word is?
In the riddle is there a question mark after word?
If there is no questionmark then that becaomes a statement and your answer is WHAT.

A RIDDLE THAT'LL KILL YOUR BRAIN!

This is going to make you so MAD!

There are three words in the English language that end in 'gry'. One is 'angry' and the other is 'hungry.' Everyone knows what the third one means, and what it stands for. Everyone uses them every day and, if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word.

What is it.

 




 
I think this is the riddle in question... What is the answer.

It could be energy, but it's not in the riddle and the letters are not in order.  We use energy everyday.
                                                                    OR
If you look at the third word of the second sentence it's angry.
 
Either way I'm rollin another fatty.

Yes Language does fit if you take the phrase The English Language of the sentance... but I am sticking with What because it says it plain as day...What is it.

What is the riddle? All he does is talk about the riddle, but doesn't tell you what it is.

There are three words in the English language that end in "gry". ONE is angry and the other is hungry. EveryONE knows what the third ONE means and what it stands for. EveryONE uses them everyday, and if you listened very carefully, I've given you the third word.

So, what is the solution to this riddle? As it's written above, the riddle makes little sense and has no solution. If you wanted to stretch at it, you could claim the answer was "three" ("the third word" in the message), but this was not likely the intention of the riddle's creator. That's because the version above is the result of years of mangling the riddle's structure and meaning until it just doesn't make any sense. However, when written properly, the riddle has a definite - and somewhat clever - solution:

"Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two. 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."
The answer is "Language." The first two sentences are unrelated to the riddle and only there to throw you off. Thus, the core riddle is "There are only three words in "the English language." What is the third word?"

I don't think so..Because; There are three words in the English language that end in "gry". so the third word would also have to end in "gry"...or this is a stupid ass riddle
