We used to do this with white text on white - Highlight to spoil (band name).

Nobody cares about cheats, but if you give away the connection, you've SPOILED the game for anyone who sees it. It's just common courtesy to hide the spoiler. We could talk about it tomorrow but honestly, we'll have forgotten it. A spoiler tag is great. Obviously not just for this game, but all games, movies (In The Sixth Sense, Bruce Willis is XXXXXXXXX)
