Is it possible to have a spreadsheet, whereby in cells B3:B22 (for example) you have "Hidden" answers, and in A1 you have a text box, you put an answer in, and press enter. If it matches, then it highlights the answer, and clears the cell for the next go.

So, in B3:B22 you could have the answers to a question such as The Top 20 Premiership Football teams, and in A1 you put an answer. If its correct then it highlights the answer, and returns to the cell for the next answer. If its wrong, it simply clears, awaiting the next answer to be input
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Hello,

What do you mean by hidden answers? This sounds possible,but need to know your exact requirements.
