There are a lot of good mobile games these days, but I’ve yet to find one I like that can be played in portrait view. I don’t enjoy holding my phone sideways. If they could figure out how to let me enjoy Balatro or Slay the Spire with one hand, I’m investing.

-Edit So grateful for all the recommendations. Keep them coming!

More typical "mobile game" fare than what's being recommended, but I did enjoy playing a fair amount of Sorcery Variants Daphne, if you'd like a first person dungeon crawler turn based RPG

Mindustry is great and FOSS. It gets rather difficult, though. While it will run in portrait on your phone, I'm not sure I would recommend it there because it gets rather intense quickly.

The game needs keyboard and mouse, it's complex to handle conveyor belt hell wothout these.

Try Pixel Dungeon! There's a lot to learn to actually beat the game but it's super rewarding when you do!

Luck be a landlord. Addiction warning though

Solitarica is also solid

Wordscapes is a good answer and all but he probably blocked you for a reason.
