Each array index is a letter of the alphabet, and the words need to be put into the correct index according to the first letter of the word. Can I get some help with fixing this issue with my insertWord function?
Here is the text file I am using:

easy but I feel I am getting better. One day when I am
out of the military I hope to work for some IT business.
