I thought I would get a faster response in this section after i was told that this section existed. I did not read past general posts. This is a tough one, but the answer will truly makeyou kick yourself...

i'm just nit-picking here-but if there are 3 of them and 1 is angry, and the other is hungry -- well, that doesn't make sense as you are implying that hungry is the only remaining answer, yet there is another one...sorry-i'm just kinda bored just now...😴

Actually there are more than three:

Aggry: variegated glass bead
Ahungry or anhungry: obsolete forms of hungry
Begry: beggary, extreme poverty
Conyngry: rabbit-warren
Gry: Measure equal to 1/10 of a line; dirt under the nail
Higry pigry: a purgative drug
Iggry: Hurry up!
Magry or maugry or mawgry: Ill-will, displeasure from one person to another
Nangry: Obsolete form of angry
Podagry: gout
Puggry: variation of puggaree, Indian turban
Skugry: secrecy

Well MASSIMO? Is the answer, as some have suggested, hungry? Please say yea or nay so I might reduce the psychosis induced from this riddle. 🙄😀😛

Well, wouldn't you believe it. GRY is indeed a word. Gry means:

A measure equal to one tenth of a line.
