In Practice Mode, Microsoft Forms currently does not support displaying custom messages for correct or incorrect answers. Even though the interface shows a field for custom messages, those messages only appear in standard quiz mode, and even then, only after submission, not during the question-by-question flow in practice mode.
You may consider below as workarounds:

- Add hints in the question text: While not dynamic, you can embed subtle clues or guidance in the question itself to steer learners in the right direction.
