wa alaykum salam, nope not quite. Check the link you posted again, under the riddle area. Or try reading this again carefully:

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.

Dont say that!

Here let's change this up a bit. The first two lines of the riddle really have absolutely NOTHING to do with the riddle itself. It's main purpose is to throw you off.

So taking them off, and changing the latter sentences:

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.

now counting the letters.... 1) The 2) English 3) language

meaning the answer is language

who's turn is it now?

until you think of a riddle heres one(plz:) )

there are 3 light bulbs in a room. Their switches are outside the room. How do you figure out which switch goes with which light bulb? You can only come in the room once to check it out (meaning you cant open one, come see, go out open another and so on...)
 
MUHAMM7D

MUHAMM7D

Muslim
Turn one light switch on, wait a few minutes, then turn it off and turn another light switch on. Go into the room and feel the light bulbs. The one that's still warm is connected to the switch that you first turned on, the one that is on was the second switch you turned on, and the last bulb is controlled by the switch that you didn't touch.
