According to the UNIX dictionary, there are only three words containing
the letters "gry":
	angry
	gryphon
	hungry
It is rumored that this dictionary contains a good portion of the entire
language- I wonder if the riddle wasn't quite honest?  I suspect that there
are no more words ending in -gry.

The game Life has been well covered in Scientific American for many years,
especially in the Mathematical Games and Computer Recreations columns.
I have implementations for Apple and Mac computers, and one in Pascal that
should work on any computer (all public domain) if anyone's interested in
playing with Life on their computer.
