The runic script (futhark) could also be written l2r and r2l in alternating lines.

This seems pretty efficient as there's no deadheading to get back to the other end of the line. When doing puzzles like word searches or scanning things laid out in grids like news article headlines, I do this l2r->r2l type of scanning. I've even caught myself using t2b->b2t scanning as well in these types of situations. It's just much more efficient
