Only simple to the quick minded. Should prove easy, but I'll try to come up with some clever ones once this one is solved.

Darn! I was too late.
That's my 3rd favorite riddle, and I'm glad you posted it right. (Many people don't )

I don't believe I didn't get that the first time I'd heard it (this is the third time). I think my mom and I spent about 2 hours trying to think of words that ended in -gry the first time we heard it...

I never heard that one before... but I don't get how "Language" ends in "-GRY"... for me, it simply doesn't.

Sukasa, you're reading it wrong.

Hehe, very good chaps...Now here's one I've come up with on my own. Hopefully, I don't confuse anyone.

Time to put your brain to the test...Might be easy, and some might have heard something similar before.

It depends on how you define shoot. In this case, the answer is to shoot it with a camera.

Random semi-related story: I was playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Somehow, I got the suicidal photographer to attack me while still having their camera out (he/she usually puts it away when you attack him/her). The photographer started taking pictures of me in a futile attempt to kill me, and resorted to fists if I got too close.

There is no 6th box. You only have 5 boxes.

Wait, wait, in the first riddle, does it mean language is the third word in "The English Language"? Sorry if I'm being stupid, but I wanna know.

It's that simple, eh?
I first also couldn't guess the third word.

Yes. For example: Lord Myre's gry post bumped a thread that hasn't been viewed in 6 months.

Don't do it again.
