zigzaggy

Full of turns

Zigzaggy describes something that moves or extends in a zigzag pattern—sharp angles alternating direction rather than following a straight or smooth line.

The word is informal and playful, often describing paths, lines, or movements: The trail got all zigzaggy near the summit.
