Wow, a puzzle that has dead ends? (5)

I believe the answer is:
amaze
This clue might be a double definition.
'wow' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'a puzzle that has dead ends?' is the second definition.
'amaze' can be an answer for 'a puzzle' (both can mean to astound or confuse). I am not sure about the remainder of the definition.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for amaze that I've seen before include "Flummox" , "Bowl over" , "Cause wonder" , "Stupefy" , "Surprise greatly, astonish" .)
