That sounds like a card formulation problem. And you should try to solve the root cause instead of trying out workarounds. You can read on card creation here:

You can do it using a little JS:

<div id="reveal" data-full="{{Back}}"></div>

<script>
  (function(){
    const el = document.getElementById("reveal");
    const message = el.dataset.full;
    let i = 0;

    // clear any raw output so nothing shows until JS runs
    el.textContent = "";

    const interval = setInterval(() => {
      if (i < message.length) {
        el.textContent += message[i++];
      } else {
        clearInterval(interval);
      }
    }, 200);  // 200 ms per character; bump up to slow it down
  })();
</script>

You can also use a hint field in the front of your cards, see Field Replacements - Anki Manual.

I use Anking Deck how to apply it on all those cards

First off all, you should always try to rewrite the cards if the front is vague. More so if this is a shared deck.

As for how to apply the styles, you do it in the note types: Card Templates - Anki Manual

You only need to do it once for each note type. Make sure you apply it to the right field. In the script I sent you I’m assuming every card has a back field that appears on back.

You can use ChatGPT/Gemini to tailor the script for the particular note types you use.
