The card picker greys out a card that is already dealt and hangs the reason off a `title`. Measured on an iPhone with three hands out: seven of the fifty-two were dead, none of them could take focus, and tapping one changed nothing at all — no toast, no text, not a byte of DOM. The tool's answer to "who has the ace of spades?" existed and was reachable only with a mouse. The header's two buttons were the same, on a new dealer's first screen, and Export CSV was greyed out with no explanation written anywhere. `disabled` is the wrong attribute whenever there is something to say: it drops the control out of the tab order, so a screen reader never lands on it to hear the description, and it eats the tap on a touch screen, where the hover that would have shown the `title` does not exist. `aria-disabled` announces the same state and leaves the control reachable, so one capture listener can turn the press into a sentence — in a toast, or inside a sheet that is standing on top of the toast. It paid for itself in the picker's keyboard too. The arrows hunted past dealt cards because a `disabled` button cannot hold focus, and the hunting did the exact thing the grid's no-wrap rule was written to prevent: Right from A-spades over a dealt A-hearts landed on A-diamonds, so the column shifted and the next press of Down walked a different suit. A cell that can hold focus needs no hunting, and the APG asks for that inside a composite widget anyway. The line that answers is one line by measurement, not by taste. Its box is 318px on a Galaxy S8 at 20px of root text; the first wording drew 332px and wrapped, shoving fifty-two targets 21px down mid-tap, and twenty-four capital Ws draw 434px whatever the wording, so the box is what holds. Two things the sweep found on the way. It opened the card picker by un-hiding an overlay whose grid had never been painted, so for its whole life it audited an empty sheet; it now opens it the way a dealer does, with cards out and the answer showing. And the slot buttons above the grid were named to a screen reader by the em dash they draw when empty.
