Design reachable action buttons for narrow mobile screens
The practical problem
Hint, Pause and Restart are often grouped into tiny icons that fingers cannot operate reliably. Wrong taps may erase progress.
Implementation protocol
Increase actual hit target area, maintain visible spacing, and separate destructive controls from high-frequency actions. Test at 360 CSS pixels wide.
Worked scenario
A 20-pixel icon can sit inside a roughly 44-pixel interactive region. Verify that adjacent button hitboxes do not overlap.
What could go wrong
Invisible hit areas can still create accidental activations.
Acceptance criteria
Perform repeated one-handed play tests and check focus outlines.
