Mind The Gap

Actually, "ledge" would be more appropriate when referring to the outermost columns of the grid.  This is where most games are lost because you have have less room to be creative.  My usual strategy is to alternate between both sides and only to play words in the middle when I don't have options on either side.

Sometimes, if I have a decent word (5 letters or more) on the side, I'll try to chip away at the rest of the grid and leave that rewarding play for later.  This is also true when I have a blue letter (X, Z, Q, J) in a word that I can play later.

One of the quickest ways to lose in SpellTower is to let the blank spaces (i.e., the black boxes) build up on the edges.  Those blocks can severely limit your options, so get rid of them whet
