Cut and paste on this one: “Actually, many words end in -gry, including gry itself, although all but angry and hungry are rare, foreign, obscure or obsolete. The most common “answers” are aggry, a burial bead from Ghana, puggry, a scarf worn around the neck in India to protect the head from the sun, and anhungry, an obsolete form of hungry that was used once in one of Shakespeare’s less-popular plays (Coriolanus, Act I, Scene I, line 209); this association with the Bard is enough to earn anhungry a place in the Merriam-Webster Third New International (unabridged) Dictionary of the English Language, one of the standard dictionaries of American English. “But that can’t be the answer,” you groan. No. It’s not. There is no answer”
