Now drag the circle at the end of your selection to the end of "stupid". It seems this must be done quickly without lingering and may need a bit of practice. Now the balloon dictionary should pop up.

Thank you, but those circles are so frustrating to use that I'll end up wasting more time rearranging selections than reading or learning. So for me the best solution (but far from ideal) is to highlight just the words that I want to learn and review them while I swipe back and forth through the pages, instead of using the annotations list.
