defined as having only one way through them. They normally have side
passages, although, like other mazes, there may be only one path that will
succeed in taking you all of the way to the exit.</p>

dir="ltr">The maze/labyrinth distinction is there. When I hear of modern
labyrinths, it's usually in the context of religious/spiritual uses
(since there's only one way, it lends itself to a walking meditation).
Mazes are generally like a recreational puzzle, where you're trying to
find your way. Whether that's different enough for a separate tag, or
just a subtag, I'm not sure.<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div

I have assumed in my contributions that "maze" and
"labyrinth" would be exchangeable (indeed in German they are),
but the English wikipedia suggests they are not (they claim: maze=several
ways through, labyrinth: just one way).<br><br></div>cheers<span
