Labyrinths aren't usually 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.

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.
