The recent YASID about Rogue Moon made me recall another similar story. It was a short story I read in an anthology, probably in the late 70s. There was an alien planet with a deadly maze that had killed a lot of explorers who attempted to navigate it.
the latest person attempting it. He did well - actually got to the end and realized the key to survival, but at the last minute, not thinking through what he had just realized, made a fatal mistake and was killed. Ring any bells?

recall it being set on an alien planet.

It's a good story - available on YouTube as spoken word - but not the one I'm trying to ID. The one I remember, the explorer was killed suddenly at the end,
I missed the part in your OP where you said "and was killed". Nope, it's
not the Spinrad.
