Puzzling skeleton

I remember the puzzling skeletons question about "Angry, Hungry, etc (you know the 3 words in common tongue that end in Gry). I remember answering it correctly but I still do not understand the riddle. Anyone out there have the time to explain it to me please?

Ah, the infamous riddle:

Now, think of words which end in '-GRY.' Angry and hungry are two of them. There are but three words in the Common Tongue... what is the third word? The word is something that one uses every day. If thou hast listened carefully, I have already told thee what it is.

Highlight the following for the answer:

The answer is tongue. As the Riddling Skeleton tells you, "It is 'tongue.' The first two sentences are unrelated, only there to trick thee. Remember: there are three words in 'the - Common - Tongue."

End Spoiler
