/ˈlab(ə)rɪnθ/noun
A confusing tangle of paths or passages in which it is easy to get lost; a maze.
Example sentences
- “The old palace is a labyrinth of corridors and hidden staircases.”

In careful usage a labyrinth has one winding path and a maze has choices, but most speakers treat the words as synonyms.
