What's a good iOS game for zoning out and racking up points while waiting for my data to load?

Wordscapes Search is pretty good for that. It's got that 'just one more level' thing going on, and the graphs of your progress are, dare I say, statistically satisfying.

Okay, so Wordscapes Search is surprisingly addictive. I was looking for something to do while waiting for, like, a massive dataset to import (exports to CSV in under 10 seconds, usually, but still). And this game totally fits the bill. It's simple, right? Find words. But the way they track your progress? Data nerd approved. Plus, the puzzles are easy enough that you don't get frustrated, but challenging enough to keep you engaged. It's like a well-designed dashboard – the difficulty curve actually makes sense. And hey, if I can zone out and still feel like I'm, you know, 'optimizing my brain,' I'm in. I haven't dug into whether they have an API for tracking my word-finding efficiency yet, but that would be the dream.
