It is possible. There are a few methods you can use to develop this function. If you are not familiar or comfortable workign with variables, you can create this using some buttons and triggers.
Here is an overview of the steps you can take.
Create your Layers for the hints: Hint_1, Hint_2
On the base layer, create two buttons for each of the hints; Button_hint_1, Button_hint_2,
Set these triggers for Button_hint_2:
Trigger 1 - This will hide this button when the user clicks on this button. So they only get this hint once.
Change State of : Button_hint_2
To hidden
When User Clicks
On Button_Hint_2
Trigger 2 - This will display the Hint Layer 2
Show Layer: Hint_2
When user clicks this button
Place Button_Hint_1 on top of the other button and set these triggers
Hi Jerson, I gave your steps a try, but having some problems. I'm trying to have these hints on a quiz slide, but it is not working. I apologize for not specifying I would like this on a quiz. Is it possible?
You'll need to put these on the layers of your quiz slide as Jerson suggested - and show the layer based on the user clicking on the hint button. What type of quizzing slide are you using? If using a freeform pick one/pick many - clicking on those buttons may be interesting with your quiz set up. Are you able to post what you've got going so far so that the community can take a look?

This way only one button will be shown at a time

Is this something you need soon? I may be able to do a demo, but don't know when I would be able to get to it.
Something like this might works?
