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]
