Description
Alice is going to play a game with Bob. The game has the following steps:
1. Each person gets a **multiset** of characters. Alice’s multiset is $X$, and Bob’s multiset is $Y$. They both know each other’s multiset. Both will be given in the input. Note that all sets in this problem are **multisets**.
2. Alice chooses a **non-empty** subset $x$ of multiset $X$ and tells Bob.
3. Bob chooses a subset $y$ of multiset $Y$ (which **may be empty**) and merges it with $x$ to obtain multiset $Z$.
4. Bob arranges **all** characters in $Z$ in some order to form a string $z$.
5. If $z$ is a palindrome, Bob wins; otherwise, Alice wins.
Now both players use optimal strategies. Determine whether Alice can win. If she can, you also need to construct a winning multiset $x$ and output it as a string.
The problem setter does not want to write an SPJ, so the string you output must be the lexicographically smallest among all strings obtained by arranging every winning multiset $x$ in a certain order. It can be proven that such a string is unique.

String $a$ is lexicographically smaller than string $b$ if and only if:
- There exists a position $i$ such that $∀ 1\le j < i, a_j=b_j$ and $a_i
Input Format
This problem contains multiple test cases in each test point.
The first line contains a number $T$, representing the number of test cases.
The next $T\times 2$ lines contain $T$ test cases, with every two lines forming one test case:
The first line contains a string $X$, representing the multiset of characters Alice gets, where each character in the string represents an element in the multiset.
The second line contains a string $Y$, representing the multiset of characters Bob gets.
Output Format
Output $T$ lines in total, one for each test case, indicating whether Alice can win. If she can win, output a string representing an arrangement of the lexicographically smallest $x$ you construct; otherwise output `-1`.
Explanation/Hint
**[Sample Explanation]**
Test case 1, group 1:
| $x$ | $y$ | $Z$ |
| :----: | :--: | :-----: |
| $\texttt{a}$ | $\texttt{a}$ | $\texttt{aa}$ |
| $\texttt{d}$ | $\texttt{d}$ | $\texttt{dd}$ |
| $\texttt{ad}$ | $\texttt{a}$ | $\texttt{ada}$ |
| $\texttt{dd}$ | $\texttt{dd}$ | $\texttt{dddd}$ |
| $\texttt{da}$ | $\texttt{d}$ | $\texttt{dad}$ |
| $\texttt{aa}$ | $\texttt{aa}$ | $\texttt{aaaa}$ |
| $\texttt{dad}$ | $\texttt{a}$ | $\texttt{daad}$ |
| $\texttt{daa}$ | $\texttt{d}$ | $\texttt{daad}$ |
| $\texttt{aad}$ | $\texttt{d}$ | $\texttt{daad}$ |
| $\texttt{daad}$ | $\texttt{d}$ | $\texttt{addda}$ |
No matter what Alice chooses, Bob can always form a palindrome.
Test case 2, group 4: the winning multisets for Alice are $\{\texttt{a},\texttt{b}\}$ and $\{\texttt{a},\texttt{a},\texttt{a},\texttt{b}\}$. Among them, arranging $\{\texttt{a},\texttt{a},\texttt{a},\texttt{b}\}$ as $\texttt{aaab}$ is lexicographically the smallest.
**[Constraints]**
Let $\sum|S|$ denote the total input length of $X$ and $Y$.
For $10\%$ of the testdata, it is guaranteed that $1 \le |X|,|Y| \le 10$, $1 \le \sum|S| \le 110$.
For $50\%$ of the testdata, it is guaranteed that $1 \le |X|,|Y| \le 2\times10^3$, $1 \le \sum|S| \le 2.1\times 10^4$.
For $100\%$ of the testdata, it is guaranteed that $1 \le |X|,|Y| \le 10^6$, $1 \le \sum|S| \le 2.1\times 10^6$.
$X$ and $Y$ consist of lowercase letters.
