Hey. There seems to be an entire lexicon on the subject of "words ending in -gry". Years ago, Ann Landers got stumped by the question, so she turned to none other than the editors of the Oxford English Dictionary, who provided the following:

aggry
meagry
puggry

and later on, Webster's New World Dictionary listed another one: mawgry.

Guess that means there are only 6 words (at least) that end in -gry.
