how to filter an array prior to .filter code example

Example: filter javascript

const arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];

const filter = arr.filter((number) => number > 5);
console.log(filter); // [6, 7, 8, 9]

or 

const words = ['spray', 'limit', 'elite', 'exuberant', 'destruction', 'present'];

const result = words.filter(word => word.length > 6);

console.log(result);
// expected output: Array ["exuberant", "destruction", "present"]
