> 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.

The problem is, none of them are the answer to the question: these aren't things that we use every day.

This problem originally appeared in the form Spider-Boy quoted it from Brain Food, but people who didn't know the answer repeated it to others, and now it's flooding the Internet in a form that HAS NO ANSWER.

This is the single most annoying puzzle ever. I have yet to figure out why, but, on average, I get someone asking me this riddle in email once EVERY THREE DAYS. I have no clue why they think to ask *me*. I'm beginning to suspect it's a practical joke on someone's part.

The link below is a pretty comprehensive analysis of the puzzle. I particularly recommend reading the "Before emailing me, click here!" link at the bottom of the page -- it's pretty humorous.
