“Labyrinth” and “maze”. Speaking of them, there’s a little difference in their meaning but are they used interchangeably in every day life?
- English (US)
Maze is more common. When someone says "Labyrinth" I think of the Greek myth of Daedalus, where he constructed an enormous maze many times larger than a single person, in which you could get lost forever.
The difference between "maze" and "labyrinth" is like the difference between "huge" and "gigantic".

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand

Other reason

They are different things and cannot be used interchangeably
labyrinth = has a single continuous path leading to the middle (keep going forward and you’ll always get there)
maze = has many different paths which may or may not lead to the middle
