“Tight Fitting Lid” versus cover and simmer

When I cook rice, the instructions state to cover with a tight fitting lid. For things like sauces, the recipe always calls for you to cover and simmer. Is there a difference in lids that I should be using in these two scenarios?

If so, what does a “tight fitting lid” actually mean compared to a regular lid that comes with a typical pot?
