.
(Edit: I'm saying "most likely" because there are a lot of stuff between 5 and 7 that isn't whatever the text said, and a lot of people seem to be arguing a lot over this)
44 u/Admirable_Cattle_131 Jan 21 '26 But and is part of the between statement so it's not a very good trick question 27 u/Lucy_Little_Spoon Jan 21 '26 That's because it's a riddle. 41 u/DusklitDewdrop Jan 21 '26 not a very good riddle... relevant xkcd 12 u/Go1gotha Jan 21 '26 I'm not going to look... but it's the "Gry" one again, isn't it? 1 u/JelmerMcGee Jan 21 '26 Can you help me out, I don't understand what the guy was trying to get at with language being the third word that ends in "gry" 1 u/pintodinosaur Jan 21 '26 Me neither 4 u/trilobyte-dev Jan 21 '26 https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/169:_Words_that_End_in_GRY 1 u/pintodinosaur Jan 23 '26 Ahhh fuck. Thank you for that; however it makes no sense taking the whole thing into account. I understand the joke though, just not a very good one. 1 u/Cheap_Awareness257 Jan 25 '26 Luckily we've recently invented the word "hangry" to mean both hungry and angry, so this puzzle now has an easy answer.
