I work at a public library. We have had about 50 people call and ask for
3 words in the English language which end in -gry. Any suggestions?

Yes. They are angry, hungry, and hangry. The last word, although not
often used in current English, describes the person who is so hungry he
becomes angry. Tell your callers this and they probably won't call back
with any other questions.

I e-mailed her a copy of the rec.puzzles archive entry on "GRY", which is
over 350 lines long. That should do it!
