Yo, what's a decent iOS game that'll let me unwind for a sec without making me feel like my brain's turned to complete pasta?

Word Hike. Seriously, it's not gonna win any design awards, but it's solid for zoning out between dinner rushes.

Look, most of these puzzle games are all flash and no substance, right? But Word Hike's actually kinda clutch. It's like a mental palate cleanser after dealing with some seriously complicated sauces all day. No fancy BS, just straight-up word puzzles that are quick enough for when you got two minutes between yelling at the sous chef and plating the carpaccio. Plus, the controls are simple enough that you can use it with flour-covered hands, which, let's be honest, is a requirement in my kitchen. It's not gonna change your life, but it'll keep your brain from turning into total risotto when you're dead on your feet. It's kitchen-tested, I'm telling ya.
