D&D 5E - Spell Sniper Feat + War Caster Feat + Sword Burst Cantrip = ???

this is the frustrating part....

( IF ) War Caster Feat, says, "you can use your reaction to cast a spell at the creature, "

but the spell affecting the "single" creature affects all the creatures around you within 5 feet...

does that somehow make the combo illegal? or invalid?

So Spell Sniper Feat and War Caster should be feats that pair well with each other.

Then to overly complicate things, does "Spell Sniper Feat", extend the range of 5 feet to 10 feet?

Then to finish up, the combo should be used as both a Reaction and as an Action.

However the specific language of 5e is a bit tricky to interpret

Breaking this down word by word seems to be the only way to understand this crazy logic, but my perception of facts might vary with yours...i look forward to your thoughts on the matter

Thanks in advance for your help in understanding,

Michael
