There are some specific commands for that, see core-rul.tex and search for
fillin; else follow Frans's suggestion of phantom. 

if you want a low level example: 

\enablemode[ShowSolution]

\def\GuessWhat#1%
  {\underbar{\bf\doifmodeelse{ShowSolution}{#1}{\hphantom{#1}}}}

bla bla \GuessWhat{blabla} bla bla 

now, guess what happens with \disablemode[ShowSolution]
