Not OP, but I highly recommend Cryptograms as a word puzzle you can do on paper if you’re trying to get off your phone for a while (I bought a book of 500 and it’s been great). The learning curve isn’t too intense, and each puzzle is different enough from the last that they don’t lose their challenge over time.
I’m also the creator of an app called Sootly, if you’re looking for a deeply stressful game of word guessing and deductive logic. It’s a free app with no ads, for the record, so no motive of financial gain here.
