I’m currently working on preparing for a history competition in a few weeks, and I’m trying to study with Anki! Because I love myself some Anki! I’m guessing there is some simple way to do this, whether that’s coding the card in HTML or using a specific card format. This history competition is in a 3-hint (worth different amounts of points each) 1-answer format. How exactly could I use Anki to give me one hint, I click a specific button or the screen and get hint 2, and the same for hint 1, and then click again to get to the answer? This part I’m guessing isn’t possible with Anki, but if it’s possible, is there a way to be at, say, hint 2 and skip to the answer if I already know the answer? Thanks!

I’m not quite sure how to use the hint field… I’m pretty new to Anki so I’m still trying to figure out how to do everything. But I’ll look at the link you attached and try to figure it out.
I looked at your like and to me it looks like I can only have 1 hint. Am I reading this wrong? Is there a way to have 2 hints, a front, and a back?
You can have as many hints as you want.
E.g.
Front template
{{Front}}
<br>
{{hint:Front_Hint_01}}
<br>
{{hint:Front_Hint_02}}
Back Template
{{FrontSide}}
<hr id=answer>
{{Back}}
<br>
{{hint:Back_Hint_01}}
<br>
{{hint:Back_Hint_02}}

You can use any field as a hint – any existing field, or any new field you add.
