It's a common trick question, there is no other word that ends in "gry", but the wording of the question has to be very precise such that the answer is actually "language".

From the version on the page I posted:"the English language" is the important part there."There are three words in the English language that end with 'gry'. Two of these are angry and hungry. The third word is a very common word, and you use it often. If you have read what I have told you, you will see that I have given you the third word. What is the third word? Think very carefully."
