In its proper, original form, the first two sentences have absolutely nothing to do with the question: "Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them." Ignore those two sentences. They are there only to
throw you off course. (And it worked, didn't it?) What's left is the actual riddle itself: "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."

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"!
