4. There are three words in the English language that end in the letters g-r-y. Two are "hungry" and "angry." Everyone knows what the third word means, and everyone uses it every day. What is the third word?

The answer is energy. The question asks for a word ending with the three letters g-r-y, but does not stipulate that they must be in that order.

4. "EveryONE uses them everyday"

Does this mean it's a plural noun? And does the repeated capitalization of the word "one" mean something? (The answer is not "onegry.")
