"Wrought" is an old past participle of "work"; According to the OED,
"wrought havoc" is actually the past tense of "work havoc," not "wreak
havoc." I'm not sure "wreak" has a surviving past or past participle
form. Wreaked? Wrook?

Is 'wrought' the past participle of 'wreak' or 'work'? My dictionaries
are having a conflict.

Sorry, Paul! Too rapid reading of emails was the cause.
