Yes but what is communicated badly ? What did the riddle man mean by the three words in english language that end in "gry" ?
The "Riddle Man" wants the answer to be 'language' because the question he claims to have asked is what's the third word in "the English Language."
If we credulously try to answer the implied question, it's better to just link this page, but you should read the whole thing.

As the explain xkcd notes, it’s badly told by cueball so it’s impossible to answer. https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/169:_Words_that_End_in_GRY
