Hide all spans that are close to cursor on mouseover?

I am working on a project where I have several hundred spans next to each other, with a letter of the text in each span. When I hover over one of the spans, I want to hide it, as well as the other spans nearby.

It makes an image like this:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@  
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@  
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@  
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

My goal is to hide all of the spans in a given distance away from the mouse, like this:

image of my goal

HTML

<span id="overlay-1">@</span>
<!-- ... -->
<span id="overlay-142">@</span>
<span id="overlay-143">@</span>

I'm able to hide 1 of the spans by calling their ids on mouseover and changing the style to display=none, but I want to hide all that are in close proximity to the mouse. Any ideas on what I should do?

I tried to solve this through JS. Here is my code:

function paint() {
    let txt = "";
    for (let j = 0; j < 100; j++) {
        txt += "<div>"
        for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
            txt += `<span onmouseout="hoverOut()" onmouseover="hover(this)" onmouseuop id="overlay-${i}-${j}">@</span>`
        }
        txt += "</div>"
    }
    document.getElementById('painting').innerHTML += txt
}


function hover(x) {
    let id = x.id;
    let i = x.id.split('-')[1];
    let j = x.id.split('-')[2];
    
    for (let a = -2; a <= 2; a++) {
        for (let b = -1; b <= 1; b++) {
            const elem = document.getElementById(`overlay-${i-a}-${j-b}`);
            elem ? elem.style.opacity = 0 : null;
        }
    }
    x.style.opacity = '0';
}

function hoverOut() {
    for (let i = 0; i < document.getElementsByTagName('span').length; i++) {
        document.getElementsByTagName('span')[i].style.opacity = 1;
    }
}
<body onload="paint()">
    <div id="painting">
    </div>
</body>

Another approach without using ids would be to use Element.getBoundingClientRect() to get the size and position of the hovered element and then use Document.elementFromPoint() inside a loop to access elements near the hovered one:

const main = document.querySelector('main')
for (let i = 0; i < 800; i++) main.innerHTML += '<span>@</span>'
const spans = document.querySelectorAll('span')

const areaWidth = 50
const areaHeight = 50
const hidden = []

function getElements(currentSpan, color) {
  const { top, right, bottom, left, width, height } = currentSpan.getBoundingClientRect()

  for (let col = left - areaWidth / 2; col < right + areaWidth / 2; col += width || 14) {
    for (let row = top - areaHeight / 2; row < bottom + areaHeight / 2; row += height || 14) {
      const el = document.elementFromPoint(col, row)
      if (el?.tagName === 'SPAN') {
        el.style.color = color
        hidden.push(el)
      }
    }
  }
}

spans.forEach(span => {
  span.addEventListener('mouseover', () => getElements(span, 'transparent'))
  span.addEventListener('mouseout', () => {
    hidden.forEach(el => (el.style.color = ''))
    hidden.length = 0
  })
})
main {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  width: 640px;
  cursor: default;
}
<main></main>

You could use a CSS solution - overwrite the adjacent characters with a pseudo element on the clicked character.

This snippet uses a monospace font and it's set line height and letter spacing as CSS variables so you can alter them as required.

function clicked(ev) {
  ev.target.classList.add('obscure');
}
const container = document.querySelector('.container');
for (let i = 0; i < 200; i++) {
  const span = document.createElement('span');
  span.innerHTML = '@';
  if (i % 10 == 0) {
    container.innerHTML += '<br>';
  }
  container.appendChild(span);
}
container.addEventListener('click', clicked);
.container {
  width: 50vw;
  height: auto;
  font-family: Courier, monospace;
  --line-height: 20px;
  --letter-spacing: 5px;
  line-height: var(--line-height);
  letter-spacing: var(--letter-spacing);
}

.container span {
  position: relative;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

.obscure::before {
  content: '';
  width: calc(5ch + (6 * var(--letter-spacing)));
  height: calc(3 * var(--line-height));
  background-color: white;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  transform: translate(calc(-50% + 0.5ch), calc(-50% + (1ch)));
  left: 0;
  z-index: 1;
  display: inline-block;
}
<body>
  <div class="container"></div>
</body>
