It could be a word like Show Mnemonic in the front field and then when you click on it, it shows the mnemonic.
but I want even if I remembered the word without clicking on the hint, I want the hint to automatically show when I click Show answer. that way the hints make you remember the word even more, even if you don't need hints.
hope what I said makes sense lol.
#guys, does anyone know how to add an option in anki to show a hint for the card?

Yes, you can do that, per the Anki Manual https://docs.ankiweb.net/templates/fields.html#hint-fields. "If you want to have the hint always revealed when the answer is shown, you will need to remove {{FrontSide}} from your back template and manually add the fields you wish to appear."
So if you're using the standard card template, you need change it so you're not using the auto-fill field called {{FrontSide}} , which copies exactly what is on the front side, and instead make it do it all manually in order to customize the way things show up.
So, for example, if you have the fields Front, Back and Hint, the front would only have the fields {{Front}} and {{hint::Hint}}, and the back would have {{Back}} and {{Hint}}. So the back hint field is just showing whatever you put into the Hint field, without the instructions that make it show up as a hint (the beginning "hint::" part).
