Alright, so what's a good Android game that'll keep my brain sharp during prep time without being some kinda candy-coated BS?

Look, most of these brain training apps are total garbage. Too much fluff, not enough substance. I need something that's actually practical, something I can pick up and play for five minutes between dicing onions and searing scallops. Word Maker is it. It's not gonna win any design awards, but it gives you your word puzzles, keeps your brain from turning into complete mush, and doesn't try to sell you a bunch of crap. Plus, it's quick enough for the lunch rush downtime. I ain't got time for games that take forever to load or have a million menus. This is like mise en place for your phone – everything you need, nothing you don't. Kitchen-tested, chef-approved. Keeps me from yellin' at the waitstaff, at least for a little while.
