Problem in fgets(); function ?

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

#define count 2000000

void add(char word[],char meaning[])
{
    FILE *fp;
    fp = fopen("words.txt","a");
    fprintf(fp,"%s        =    %s\n",word,meaning);
}

void processing(void)
{

    int i = 0,delay;
    printf("Processing....\n\n");        
    for(delay=0;delay<count;delay++)
            ;
    printf("\n");
}
    

void getwords(void)
{

    FILE *fp;
    fp = fopen("words.txt","r");
    if(fp!=NULL)
    {
        printf("\n/**************************** DICITIONARY **********************************/\n\n\n");
        char words;
        while((words = fgetc(fp)) != EOF)
        {
            putchar(words);
        };
        fclose(fp);
    }
    if(fp=NULL)
    {
        printf("Unable to open the file!\n");
    }
        
}
    
int main()
{
    int selection;
    char word[10];
    char meaning[40];
    printf("$$$$ Welcome to Aneesh's Dicitionary $$$$\n\n");
    printf("1. Show the dicitionary .\n");
    printf("2. Add words to dicitionary .\n3. Exit\n");
    printf("\tYour selection (1 , 2 or 3 [to quit]  ) : ");        
    selection=fgetc(stdin);
    if( selection ==  '1')
    {
        processing();        
        getwords();
    
    }
    else if( selection == '2')
    {
        processing();        
        printf("Enter word to add: ");    
        fflush(stdin);            
        fgets(word,9,stdin);
        fflush(stdin);            
        printf("Meaning : ");
        fflush(stdin);
        fgets(word,9,stdin);    
        add(word,meaning);
    }
        
}

In the above program in the main() function:-

in the line no 67 and 71.

what i m trying is to input is two character arrays :-
1. word
2. meaning

but i cannot use scanf();
as it only inputs till a space but i want to input till newline..

problems :-

1. the program only inputs the meaning and not the word.

2. the output when we reach that code is" Enter word to add: Meaning:"
and it will only input the meaning.

Please help with the code so that it works as expected and inputs both the arrays correctly.

Help!
