Which part didn’t work? You didn’t have the magnifying glass appear?
No, no magnifying glass, it just highlighted the word, options to cut or copy.
If you’re trying to place the cursor on a misspelled word, it may default to highlighting it every time. Try sneaking it in by touching and holding on a word nearby, and wait for the magnifying glass to appear before dragging onto the misspelled word. And it’s just a regular touch without breaking contact, not pressing like trying to use the haptic functions.
