The challenge wants you to select any values inside the array with more than 4 characters and store those values in a variable named 'house'. The select method iterates over the specified array and returns any values that meet the condition into a new array.
It's merely coincidental that the variable name for the new array is the same name as the value selected. Well, casing aside, of course.
