    I'll bet that YOU heard the riddle worded something like that, right? And if that's how you heard it, no wonder you've been wracking your brain trying to find the answer. But you know what? There IS no correct answer! This riddle or a version of it, has been around for at least 20 years. In the ORIGINAL format (as you'll soon see), it makes sense and is a true riddle in the sense that, once you find the answer, you slap your forehead and go "Of course!"
    The key is the phrase "the English language." In this three-word phrase, the third word is simply the word "language." Get it? "Language" is definitely something that "everyone uses every day"! Without that quirky little twist, the puzzle would be just another trivia question, not a riddle.

    You might be tempted to say something like: "That can't be the right answer. It's too stupid!" Hey, remember that most riddles ARE "stupid." For example, there's an old riddle which asks: "What is Bozo the Clown's middle name?" (The answer is "the." Now THAT'S "stupid"!)

    Here is the riddle in its original form (going back about 20 years):

    "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. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

    "Angry" and "hungry" are two words that end in "gry".
    There are three words in the English language. What is the
    third word? Everyone knows what it means and everyone uses it
    every day. Look closely and I have already given you the
    third word. What is it?

    Answer: "language".

    This puzzle has circulated widely on the Internet for some
    years, but usually in an abbreviated form such as "Name three
    common English words ending in 'gry'", which has no good third answer.

    They're not talking about LANGUAGE being broken down

    They're talking about the phrase

    The English Language Broken down

    As Cherie J. Said the original form is

    "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. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is."

    There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word?

    That's what you should pay attention to

    THREE WORDS in "The English Language"

    The third word in that phrase is Language.
