Where to lookup unknown words?

When doing these exercises I use the Library Index to search for translations of words/phrases I am not familiar with.

In this case I searched for "magical" and the result shown was féerique. This however was marked wrong!!

I also searched for "pitch tent" and could not find a result for pitch but got a result unrelated to tents, so searched for tent and found to put up a tent = "installer une tente"

This too was marked wrong and instead "planter" was the word used. However planter is not even in the Library index.

What is recommended as the best resource for definitions for these exercises so that we can find the correct translation?

idiomatic expressions

Would you be so kind as to explain what "fait une tete de plus que Marie" and "a gagne haut la main" mean. I tried to look them up but to no avail. I think I understand them in context, but would like a bit better understanding. Thank you!! I did try to click on the phrases in question but nothing appeared; it would be helpful if, once the test were completed, that mechanism worked on the dictees as well. Is that possible to fix???
