Word Play Mazes - The Autological Maze Collection

I have always liked word play games. I have also always liked making mazes. SO I ended up combining the two for a Maze Collection on the website. Honestly, the maze portion of the word play is secondary to the word play. But still we have a nice section of mazes that I enjoyed making. Lots of Autological interpretations of words. So a word that looks like what it is (plus a maze). I have over 100 on the site in the maze collection, so let’s just look at a few of my favorites !!!

My Top 10 Autological Word Mazes

I really like this Balloons Maze which looks like a collection of multi-colored balloons. It is actually 8 different individual letter mazes.

And I had fun making this Broken Maze. At first I had trouble with the E and the N, but once I figured it out I really like how this came out !

And this Crowded Maze probably was inspired while I was riding the subway one morning on the way to work. It feels crowded to me.

This Disappear Maze is not so easy to solve because each letter does indeed disappear. This maze also has a close relative called the Fade Maze you can find on the site.

I liked making this Melt Maze. I even did a bit extra and melted the arrows ! This maze also has a close relative on the site, the Mud Maze.

I think this maze gets the most downloads in the word maze section on the site. Skewed letters help give the Mountain Maze shape, and everyone likes the mountain climbers working their way to the peak !

I had fun with this Rocket Maze, rotating the “T” to make a nice rocket nose and using a uppercase R for the base.

Possibly my favorite Autological Maze is this Shadow Maze which gets a bit of help from the Sun.

Like the Broken Maze above, I had a bit of trouble making the Split Maze, but eventually figured it out. It is the only maze on the site with 1 start and 2 possible goals…I think…

And why not end with this Unfinished Maze which is appropriately unfinished (but still solvable) !

So those are my Top 10 Autological Word Mazes. You can find many more on the site and if you have an idea you think would make a good addition, send me a request !
