Inserting into a sorted array of structs in C++

Question

I have to implement a vector using an array in C++ that is used to count the number of unique words from the input. It reads the input and then adds to the words to a struct which contains its count and the unique word and then this is added to the vector. I have successfully implemented insert. The problem is that I can't get the inserting/ incrementing unique word count to work (elements aren't added to the vector). Here is my code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <unistd.h>
#include "MyVector.h"
using namespace std;

struct wordCount{
    string val;
    int count;
};

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  enum { total, unique,individual } mode = total;
  for (int c; (c = getopt(argc, argv, "tui")) != EOF;) {
    switch(c) {
    case 't': mode = total; break;
    case 'u': mode = unique; break;
    case 'i': mode = individual; break;
    }
  }
  argc += optind;
  argv += optind;
  string word;
  Vector<wordCount> words;
  Vector<wordCount>::iterator it;
  int count = 0;
  while (cin >> word) {
    count++;
    if(mode == unique || mode == individual){
      for(it=words.begin();it != words.end();it++){
        if((it-1)->val <= word && it->val >= word){
            // Found word, increment its count
            if(it->val == word){
                it->count++;
                break;
            }
            // Otherwise insert the new unique word
            else{
              cout << "adding unique word" << endl;
              wordCount* wc;
              wc = new wordCount;
              wc->val = word;
              wc->count = 1;
              words.insert(it,*wc);
              break;
            }
        }
      }
    }
  }
  switch (mode) {
    case total: cout << "Total: " << count << endl; break;
    case unique: cout << "Unique: " << words.size() << endl; break;
    case individual:
        for(it=words.begin();it!=words.end();it++){
          cout << it->val << ": " << it->count << endl;}
        break;
  }
}
