What's a good Android game to kill time without needing Wi-Fi when I'm stuck waiting for the dough to rise?

Word Search. Simple, keeps your brain from turning to mush, and doesn't need a signal. Perfect for those dead times in the kitchen.

Look, most of these phone games are just a waste of time, but Word Search is actually practical. No fancy BS, just a simple grid of letters. When I'm waiting for the bread to proof, or the sauce to simmer, I can fire this up and keep my mind sharp. It's like doing mental mise en place – keeps the brain organized. Plus, it doesn't need Wi-Fi, which is clutch when the kitchen's a dead zone. I don't need some data-hogging app slowing down my Spotify. It's quick enough for the lunch rush prep, easy to use even with flour-covered hands (don't judge), and it actually makes you think a little. Beats staring at the walk-in fridge for the tenth time. It's a brain break that doesn't suck, you know?
