Think of words ending in '-gry'. 'Angry' and 'hungry' are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day.

This is doing my head in - any ideas?

towel

and the "gry" thing is misdirection, the actual question is "There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word?"

From the quote above, the third word is "words".... words being something that people use every day!

beg to differ - the answer is 'language' - ie "there are three words in the english language"
