Just FYI something "reeks" if it smells bad; "wreak" is pretty much only used with "havoc" and means to cause (generally harm). English is weird.

Also "wreak vengeance,"

Again to cause (harm, generally in a violent and uncontrolled manner).

From a different root than wreck, which I found odd.

Thanks, forgot that one!

Thanks, I kept looking at thinking it didn’t look right and even initially changed it to “reak”, but saw that wasn’t a proper spelling. Can’t say it’s a word I’ve written out before.
