How to animate cells in a table?

I want to animate the cells in a table. The first column contains a question or a guess, the second column provides the answer. I want to animate the cells of the second column (cells should appear one by one on a mouse-click in order to “uncover” the answer), but the table is considered as a single object, such that the cells can’t be animated on itself.

As a solution, I covered each cell in the second column with a rectangle and added an animation to each rectangle such that the rectangles disappear one by one on each mouse-click.

In order to “animate” the cells of a table, one can leave the cells to be animated empty and place a text-field on top of each cell to be animated. Each text-field can be easily animated. Just enter a text into the text-field and the copy/paste the text-fields on top of the cells. Edit the fields and animate them. The background-color of the table is visible through the text-field.
