Comparing cstrings between arrays

[ElleJay]

This is a spell checking program and I'm trying to compare the two arrays that stores the words read from the dictionary and passage texts but I'm having trouble getting the syntax right. I want to compare each letter in the passage with the letters in the dictionary. Not allowed to use string type.

  void compare(DictionaryWords dictionary[], PassageWords pass[], int numWords, int wordCount){
    int i=0;
        if (dictionary[i].words==pass[i].pWords){
            i=i+1;
    }
    cout<<i;
    }

The complete code: (If there's another way I could achieve this, that would really help)

  #include <fstream>
#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

struct DictionaryWords{
    char words[25];
};

struct PassageWords{
    char pWords[25];
};

void printMenu(){
     cout <<"   Spell Checker for the Different Languages" <<endl;
     cout <<"--------------------------------------------"<<endl;
     cout <<"1.   Load Dictionary [English, French, Spanish]"<<endl;
     cout <<"2.   Load Passage"<<endl;
     cout <<"3.   Display Passage"<<endl;
     cout <<"4.   Spell Check Passage"<<endl;
     cout <<"5.   Exit"<<endl;
     cout <<endl;
     cout <<"Please enter your choice (1-5): ";
}

int loadEng(DictionaryWords dictionary[]){
    ifstream in;
    int i=0;
    int wordCount=0;

        while(!in.eof()){

            i= i+1;
            wordCount=wordCount+1;
