About

Declutter your daily puzzle! Headless Hunt gives you back valuable screen space by instantly hiding the distracting header on New York Times Crossword and Puzzle pages. If you're tired of the large header taking up the top of your screen, especially on a laptop, this extension is the simple, "set it and forget it" solution.

It provides a one-click toggle in your toolbar (or a keyboard shortcut, Alt+Shift+H) to make the header disappear. Click it again to bring it back. The extension icon is smart: it's only active on NYT puzzle pages and is grayed out everywhere else, so it never runs when it's not needed. A clear "ON" badge appears on the icon when the header is hidden, so you always know its state.

Install it to get more screen space, remove distractions, and enjoy a cleaner, more focused puzzle experience. This extension is lightweight and secure. It only asks for permission to run on NYT puzzle pages and does not read, store, or send any of your data.
