Now, I’m a seasoned crossword solver, but this one had me scratching my head. “Like Superman…” What does that even mean? Is it about his powers? His cape? His iconic “S”? Or maybe it’s about his personality – is he known for being solitary?

Then the “Fortress of Solitude” part came into play. Is it about the location itself? The seclusion? The purpose?

It took a bit of brainstorming and some creative thinking, but I finally cracked the code! I’ll reveal the answer in a bit, but for now, I want to challenge you to try and figure it out on your own.

So, put on your thinking cap, grab your trusty pencil, and let’s see if you can solve this puzzle!
