Michelle ChaThis word fits in the blank.
It means that the word is not too long. For example, you have this blank: ___ .
The words serendipitous, extracurricular, homogeneous and counterintuitive do not fit in the blank.

I understand this differently. Unless the context obviously indicated otherwise, I would understand both "fits in the blank" and "fits the blank" to refer to meaning, not word length.
