WordsWithCountGreaterThan

Could you help me figure out the issue? which gives the words saying return incorrect number. using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges { public class LexicalAnalysis { public Dictionary<string, int> WordCount = new Dictionary<string, int>();

    public void AddWord(string word)
    {
         if (WordCount.ContainsKey(word))
        {
            WordCount[word]++;
        }
        else
        {
            WordCount.Add(word, 1);
        }

    }
    public Dictionary<string, int> newWordCount = new Dictionary<string, int>();

    public Dictionary<string, int> WordsWithCountGreaterThan(int integer)
    {
        foreach(string a in WordCount.Keys)
        {
            if (WordCount[a] < integer)
            {
                newWordCount.Add(a,WordCount[a]);
            }
        }

        return newWordCount;
    }
}

}

LexicalAnalysis.cs 
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class LexicalAnalysis
    {
        public Dictionary<string, int> WordCount = new Dictionary<string, int>();

        public void AddWord(string word)
        {
             if (WordCount.ContainsKey(word))
            {
                WordCount[word]++;
            }
            else
            {
                WordCount.Add(word, 1);
            }

        }
        public Dictionary<string, int> newWordCount = new Dictionary<string, int>();

        public Dictionary<string, int> WordsWithCountGreaterThan(int integer)
        {
            foreach(string a in WordCount.Keys)
            {
                if (WordCount[a] < integer)
                {
                    newWordCount.Add(a,WordCount[a]);
                }
            }

            return newWordCount;
        }
    }
}

The instructions say "The method should return a dictionary of all of the words that have a count greater than the parameter passed in."

But this code is returning the words which have a count less than the parameter.
