crisscrossed
Went back and forth
Crisscrossed describes a pattern of lines or paths that cross each other repeatedly, forming an X or grid-like arrangement: The countryside was crisscrossed with ancient stone walls.
It can describe physical marks, routes, or movement: She crisscrossed the country on her book tour.
The pattern suggests intersection and overlap rather than parallel arrangement.
