I was thinking not pron style of game with difficult riddles, puzzles and lateral thinking solutions that I can play from my phone. I’m willing to pay (once) for a well developed game though.
Depends on what you consider “lateral thinking”.
My first recommendation would be cardgame roguelites (Slay the Spire, Balatro).
F-droid has some good logic puzzles (Soko++, Sudoku)
You can play all of the games posted on [email protected] right in your browser.
What do you mean by “not pron”?
A very difficult riddle game.
You can’t beat “Simon Tatham’s Puzzles” for a FOSS puzzle game app. 40 logic and puzzle games. Super simple UI, many puzzles have parameters to customize the difficulty in various ways. All come with detailed explanations of the rules or mechanics.
Various ways to get it. But I think play store is preferred. The f droid repo gave me a compatibility warning when looking it up just now.

Hmm, I’m not getting a compatibility warning on F-Droid. I’m on Android 15, are you already on 16 maybe?
You’re right. I’m on 16 now. Game still works for me though
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a really good, well polished, roguelike. It may be on the fringes of your request, it’s not really a “puzzle” game, but you do need to think a lot to weigh your options constantly.
Free, no ads, no dark patterns.
For “not pron” style: rusty lake series
Sokoban style: baba is you
As much as I hate NYT for MANY reasons, I’ve yet to find a better crossword.
Someone else recommended Baba Is You. Highly recommend that too
It’s been so long since I played a game on my phone but recently for nostalgic reasons I went looking for Myst. Not sure how well the puzzles hold up to adult me but i really enjoyed it when I was a kid.
There is also The Room which reminded me of Myst that I enjoyed.
I don’t know what a “not_pron” style game is so I don’t know if my suggestions are relevant though.
What the heck, I thought you were saying you don’t want porn games. Flipping the letters like that is a common way of censoring. I was already somewhat confused, since I’m not sure, I’ve ever seen a porn puzzle game.
It’s better to start here: https://notpron.com/notpron/
