About WeBWorK Spoiler Guard

Once a WeBWorK answer date passes, the site stops being usable for studying. It re-fills every answer box with what you submitted the first time, turns the results table green, and prints the correct answer right under the problem. There's nothing left to solve. WeBWorK Spoiler Guard blanks all of that out so an old problem set looks fresh again, with a one-click Peek for when you actually want to check your work. WHAT IT HIDES • The revealed correct answer, and the Correct Answer / Answer Preview columns • Correct and incorrect marks: results table, green checks, red Xs, "your answer is correct" • Scores: overall recorded score, Score / Status / Attempts columns, progress bars • Solution and hint blocks It also empties the answer boxes WeBWorK pre-fills from your last submission, and keeps "show correct answers" unchecked and stripped out of links so the server is never asked for the answers in the first place. Anything you type yourself is never cleared. CONTROLS • Peek (on-page button, or Alt+Shift+P) reveals everything and puts your old answer back. Press again to re-hide. • Alt+Shift+H pauses it for one school's site. • The popup has per-category switches and a Blur mode, where spoilers stay on the page blurred and un-blur when you hover them. WORKS WITH YOUR SCHOOL Runs automatically on any URL containing /webwork2/ or /webwork/, which covers nearly every install. If yours lives elsewhere, open the popup and press "Also run on this site" to grant that one domain. If a theme at your school shows something it doesn't know about, you can add your own CSS selector under Advanced. PRIVACY No network requests, no analytics, no accounts, no data collection of any kind. Your settings are the only thing stored, and they live in your own Chrome profile. Nothing you do on WeBWorK ever leaves your browser. This is a study aid. It changes what your browser displays, nothing else. Your scores and submission history on the WeBWorK server are untouched.
