mazy

Hard to navigate

Mazy means full of twists and turns, like a maze.

The word describes winding paths, intricate patterns, or confusing arrangements: a mazy network of alleyways, the mazy plot of a detective novel.

It's literary and somewhat old-fashioned, more likely to appear in poetry or elevated prose than everyday speech.
