Nope. There is no such word called gry 
I don't know the answer either rofl
So the person who came up with the correct answer would have got $1.00. Now I understand there is no such word according to this site:
http://www.fun-with-words.com/word_gry_angry_hungry.html (Thanks Kat for the link
)
So let me go look for another brain teaser and post it and select the first person who comes up with the correct answer as the $1.00 winner

anyway, gry is not "commonly used word". you just write wrong riddle.
if you aks:
"Angry and hungry are two words that end in '-gry'. There are three words in the English language. What is the third word? Everyone knows what it means and everyone uses it every day. Look closely and I have already given you the third word. What is it?"
the answer is "language"

Ok, the new brain teaser
There is a word in the English language that sounds the same even when you take off the last four letters. What is that word?

This puzzle has circulated widely on the Internet for some
years, but usually in an abbreviated form such as "Name three
common English words ending in 'gry'", which has no good third
